Researchers created gold core-silica shell nanoparticles exhibiting single electron transistor behavior. The Coulomb staircase, a key indicator, is tunable by adjusting the silica shell thickness for advanced electronic devices.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Single electron tunneling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon with potential for novel electronic devices.
