Technology/Science Milestones Achieved at the University of Notre Dame:

A synthesized stable, square four-dot cell of the proper charge configuration and size for use in room temperature molecular QCA devices has been tested theoretically for QCA behavior. HOMO and HOMO-1 orbitals are shown above. The calculated nonlinear response, shown on the right, displays precisely the non-linear behavior required for QCA operation. Previously, only simplified model systems have been computationally tractable for this sort of analysis. This is the first time such a response has been shown theoretically for real molecule which has already been synthesized in our laboratories.
