LESSONS OF NANOELECTRONICS. THE ELECTRIC CURRENT AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS IN THE «BOTTOM – UP» APPROACH
Journal Title: Сенсорна електроніка і мікросистемні технології - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
In the last from the series of tutorial review articles within the «bottom – up» approach of modern nanoelectronics authors consider electron and heat fluxes with an account of environment in order to build the equilibrium thermodynamics of a conductor with a current. The role of the Fock states is analyzed, the accumulation of information in a non-equilibrium state is discussed as well along with a detailed analysis of information-driven battery model and its connection with the Landauer principle on the minimum of energy needed to erase one bit of information. The concept of quantum entropy is introduced, and some aspects of its application as well as actuality of integration of spintronics and magnetronics in connection with the upcoming development of the spin architecture for the computing devices are discussed.
