▎ 摘　　要

This paper presents the schematics and the energetics of nonvolatile-nanomemory-element based on carbon nanotube (CNT) on graphene nanoribbon (GNR) array using interatomic interaction potential function. The system proposed was composed of short outer CNT and long core CNT placed on two GNRs with a gap. The short outer CNT, which can be formed by electro-burning or electron-beam stripping, shuttles between two GNRs along the core CNT under the alternatively applied force fields. When the outer CNT settles on the GNRs, the local energy minima are achieved from the attractive van der Waals potential energies and then, since the outer CNT shuttle remains its position on the GNR without external force fields, the proposed system can operate a nonvolatile memory device. To switch this CNT shuttle system, the external force fields to overcome the restoring force exerted by van der Waals attractions should be applied.
