Journal ArticleDOI
Irreversibility and heat generation in the computing process
TL;DR: Two simple, but representative, models of bistable devices are subjected to a more detailed analysis of switching kinetics to yield the relationship between speed and energy dissipation, and to estimate the effects of errors induced by thermal fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized many-channel conductance formula with application to small rings.
TL;DR: The dependence on channel number N of the contributions to the conductance of a small ring, periodic in the Aharonov-Bohm flux through it is obtained, and terms whose period is h/e as well as those with period h/2e vary with N as 1/N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variation of currents and fields due to localized scatterers in metallic conduction
TL;DR: In this article, the electric field is associated only with space charge but not with a current, and approximate space charge neutrality is restored, by adding a particular solution of the transport equation in which the electric fields are associated with a specific dipole field about each scatterer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Josephson behavior in small normal one-dimensional rings
TL;DR: In this paper, a superconducting ring of normal metal driven by an external magnetic flux acts like a Josephson junction, except that 2e is replaced by e.g.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traversal Time for Tunneling
Markus Büttiker,Rolf Landauer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at low modulation frequencies the traversing particle sees a static barrier and at high frequencies the particle tunnels through the time-averaged potential, but can do it inelastically, losing or gaining modulation quanta.
