Molecular QCA Circuits

This lecture covers the analysis of Molecular Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (MQCA) circuits, focusing on the behavior of bis-ferrocene molecules in different configurations. The lecture delves into the operation of basic logic gates like the majority voter and the horizontal wire, emphasizing the importance of intermolecular distances and clock phases in ensuring correct information propagation. Through simulations and analysis, students explore the charge distribution, input voltages, and logical dots in the circuits, gaining insights into the adiabatic propagation and gain calculations. The lecture also includes practical exercises using Matlab scripts to simulate and visualize the behavior of MQCA circuits.
