<title>Novel electron-diffraction transistor</title>

Abstract

Recent reports of very long electron mean free paths have raised the prospect of electronic devices operating on the basis of wave principles standard in physical optics. Such "optical" electron devices could be created within the 2DEG of a HEMT structure. We report here modeling of a proposed device which utilizes electron diffraction to perform several interesting functions, underscoring the potential multifunctionailty of quantum devices.
