2. Basic principles of single-electron nanodevices

2.1 Charge energy and Coulomb blockade

In the early 1980s, the work of Fulton and Dolan on single-electron tunneling devices (SETs) paved the way for single-electron electronics. Physicists were thus able to design nanodevices based on the Coulomb blocking principle, capable of generating or controlling the passage of electrons one by one through an electrical circuit.
