Abstract

A nanodevice capable of controlling the state of electric charge of a metal nanoparticle is provided. The device includes: nanogap electrodesincluding one electrodeA and the other electrodeB disposed so as to have a nanosize gap in between; a nanoparticleplaced between the nanogap electrodes; and a plurality of gate electrodes. At least one of the plurality of gate electrodesis used as a floating gate electrode to control the state of electric charge of the nanoparticle, which achieves a multivalued memory and rewritable logical operation.
