Abstract
The drain current-gate voltage characteristics of the double quantum dot devices are classified theoretically based on periodic multiple peaks separated by deep valleys, and are observed experimentally in silicon nanowire devices. Inspired by the unique patterns in the characteristics, delta-literals for multiple-valued logic are proposed as a new application of the double quantum dots.
