Molecular Field-Coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) is a computational paradigm promising high-frequency information elaboration at ambient temperature.

The obtained results are consistent with state-of-the-art considerations and comparable with DFT calculation.

Abstract
Molecular Field-Coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) is a computational paradigm promising high-frequency information elaboration at ambient temperature. This work proposes a model to evaluate the signal energy involved in propagating and elaborating the information. It splits the evaluation into several energy contributions calculated with closed-form expressions without computationally expensive calculation. The essential features of the 1,4-diallylbutane cation are evaluated with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and used in the model to evaluate circuit energy. This model enables understanding the information propagation mechanism in the FCN paradigm based on monostable molecules. We use the model to verify the bistable factor theory, describing the information propagation in molecular FCN based on monostable molecules, analyzed so far only from an electrostatic standpoint. Finally, the model is integrated into the SCERPA tool and used to quantify the information encoding stability and possible memory effects. The obtained results are consistent with state-of-the-art considerations and comparable with DFT calculation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
