为此,英国南安普顿大学的Hiroshi Mizuta和日本筑波国立材料科学研究所的Tsuyoshi Hasegawa提出了将两种完全不同新型材料混合起来。
One, the atomic transistor, draws on the latest advances in nanoscience.
其中一种就是原子晶体管,它利用了最新的纳米科技。
The other, the mechanical transistor, sounds as if it has been lifted from the annals of theindustrial revolution.
另外一种就是机械晶体管,这听起来就像是从工业革命史册中发掘出来的玩意儿。
The atomic transistor works, as its name suggests, by shuffling individual atoms aroundwithin the device.
原子晶体管的工作方式就像它名字所示的那样,是通过移动该元件内部的单个原子进行工作的。
The atoms in question are copper,
这里所说的原子指的是铜原子,
and the result of the shuffling is to create or destroy a conductive pathway between twocrucial bits of the transistor, the source and the drain, thus switching the device on or off.That is possible because this part of the transistor is made of tantalum pentoxide, a materialwhose atoms are arranged in a lattice which contains holes large enough for copper atoms tosqueeze through.
移动的结果主是在晶体管的两个十字位置构建或消除一个传导通路,它的源极和漏极因此就会开启或关闭。这是有可能实现的,因为这部分晶体管是由五氧化二钽制造的这种材料可以将它自身的原子排布在晶格中,这些晶格包括一些足够大的孔,可以让铜原子挤过去。
