Abstract
A NOT circuit realized using an atomic switch serving as a two terminal device and including a first electrode made of a compound conductive material having ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity and a second electrode made of a conductive substance. Ag2S, Ag2Se, Cu2S, or Cu2Se is preferably used as the compound conductive material.
Claims3
A NOT circuit comprising:
- a first electrode made of a compound conductive material which, is Ag2S, Ag2Se, Cu2S, or Cu2Se including mobile ions and having ionic conductivity and electric conductivity;
- and
- a second electrode made of a conductive substance and spaced apart from the first electrode;
- and
- a resistor and a capacitor, each of which serves as a two-terminal device;
- wherein the mobile ions can form a bridge between the first and second electrodes.
