Use of Nanotechnology for Data Storage
10 April 2008Scientists at University of Copenhagen discovered a new technique for data storage. Jonas Hauptmann, Jens Paaske and Poul Erik Lindelof used electricity and magnetism together for developing new transistor. Researchers has used single electron spin as a magnet and obtained electrical control.
The team of researchers has used carbon nanotube as transistor. The carbon nanotbes was placed between magnetic electrode and the researchers found that the direction of a single electron spin can be controlled by applying an electric potential. The single electron spin on a nanotube can therefore act as an artificial atom.
Jens Paaske, professor at Nano-Science Centre and the Niels Bohr Institute has analyzed the data. He found that this concept is totally new and new transistor will function as magnetic memory.
