Quantum Electronic Devices Based on Metal-Dielectric Transition in Low-Dimensional Quantum Structures

Abstract

Two types of optically manipulated quantum electronic devices are considered: a quantum dot and a finite periodic molecular chain, with the period doubled under resonance optical excitation. The stability of the working regimes of the devices in large scale of temperatures is discussed. Some motivation in favor of the molecular chain is suggested. A class of materials, which can be used for producing this device is discussed.
