Comparison of experimental and theoretical results of room temperature operated single electron transistor made by STM/AFM nano-oxidation process

Abstract

The experimental results of the single electron transistor (SET) operated at room temperature, which was fabricated by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM)/an atomic force microscope (AFM) nano-oxidation process, was compared with the results of calculated values, and a good coincidence between them was obtained. This coincidence confirms the existence of the Coulomb blockade phenomena in our SET even at room temperature.
