Electron switch in the double-cage fluorinated fullerene anions, e~-@C_(20)F_(18)(XH)2C_(20)F_(18) (X = N, B): new candidates for molecular quantum-dot cellular automata

摘要

A new type of molecular quantum-dot cellular automata (MQCA) candidates is suggested using the double-cage fluorinated fullerene molecules, e~-@C_(20)F_(18)(XH)2C_(20)F_(18) (X = N, B), which have bistable charge configurations that could be used to encode binary information. The electron switch between the two cages leads to the QCA function.
