To trap individual electrons in potential wells, voltages are applied to gate electrodes on the surface of the structure and manipulated by appropriate pulses applied to the electrodes. These potential wells are susceptible to noise from outside voltage sources. To address this issue, we developed a COMSOL model to assess whether a ferroelectric material could reduce the voltage needed to trap and manipulate the electrons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HRL Laboratories Engineering, 2022\u201323 Liaison(s): Paul Jerger \u201915 Advisor(s): Peter Saeta Students(s): Sidney Chenevert (TL), Ruby Foxall, Gracey Heibert, Mason [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-13599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-hrl-laboratories"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13599"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13667,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13599\/revisions\/13667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
