Abstract
A device includes a particle propagation channel, a particle deflector, a particle source, and a particle sink. The particle deflector facilitates ballistic transport of particles from a particle inflow portion through a particle flow deflection portion to a particle outflow portion. The particle deflector is arranged at the particle flow deflection portion and is activatable to deflect particles in the flow deflection portion and is configured to selectively prevent the particles from reaching the particle outflow portion. The particle source and particle sink are configured to cause a current path of the particles through the device.
