The scientific team of the head of the Department of Radio Engineering and Electrodynamics, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor O.E. Glukhova developed a model of a non-volatile memory cell based on a T-shaped carbon nanotube with encapsulated fullerenes. The invention relates to the field of solid-state nanoelectronics and can be used to create energy-independent nanosized memory elements of ternary computers, which can be used in computer technology. In a memory cell based on a carbon nanocomposite containing a nanotube with chirality (10, 10), in the cavity of which at the open edges of the nanotube there are fullerene trimmers chemically connected to each other and to the nanotube, the K@C60 endohedral complex, according to the invention, the nanotube is made in the form T-shaped seamless element having a base and arms, the cell contains additional fullerene trimmers, chemically connected to each other and a nanotube and located in the base cavity of the T-shaped element at its open edge, the cell contains an oxide ring of 60 oxygen atoms and an oxide ring of 30 oxygen atoms, which are located on the outer side of the nanotube on the arms of the T-shaped element, while the K@C60 endohedral complex is located in the base cavity of the T-shaped element. The technical result of the invention is the expansion of the functionality of the memory cell to three logical states.
The decision to grant a patent for the invention was received on May 11, 2023, application No. 2022134295. The priority of the invention is set on the date 12/26/2021. The authors of the invention: Levitsky Semyon Gennadievich, Shunaev Vladislav Viktorovich, Glukhova Olga Evgenievna. This work was financially supported by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science as part of the state assignment (project no. FSRR-2023-0008).
