ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces the reader to solid and fluidic molecular electronics. Molecular electronics encompasses novel 3D-topology devices, new organization, innovative architecture, and bottom-up fabrication. Statistical analysis is applicable only to systems with a large number of particles and energy states. The fundamental assumption of statistical mechanics is that in thermal equilibrium every distinct state with the same total energy is equally probable. The distribution statistics is applicable to electronic devices, which consist of a great number of particles and interactions can be simplified by deducing the system behavior from statistical considerations. The analysis of state transitions and interactions allows one to coherently study the controlled device behavior, evolution, and dynamics. Molecular devices and M gates must ensure desired functionality, transitions, switching, logics, electronic characteristics, and performance. In M devices, performance and characteristics can be changed and optimized by utilizing and controlling state transitions and parameters.
