论文摘要
我们讨论了由纳米颗粒集合制成的系统中逻辑门的热类似物的设计。我们通过控制其组件之间的近场辐射热交换来证明不执行不执行的可能性，或者和NAND的逻辑操作。我们还解决了逻辑门组合中辐射热传递的固有非添加性发挥作用的重要点。这些结果铺平了用于信息处理和热管理的紧凑热电路的发展，这也可以通过量子点实现。
We discuss the design of the thermal analog of logic gates in systems made of a collection of nanoparticles. We demonstrate the possibility to perform NOT, OR, NOR, AND and NAND logical operations at submicrometric scale by controlling the near-field radiative heat exchanges between their components. We also address the important point of the role played by the inherent non-additivity of radiative heat transfer in the combination of logic gates. These results pave the way to the development of compact thermal circuits for information processing and thermal management, which might also be realized with quantum dots.
