5. Basic terms
• Ultra cold atoms- are atoms that are maintained at
temperatures close to 0 Kelvin (absolute zero)
• Optical lattice-is simply a set of standing wave laser,
the electric field of this laser can interact with atoms.
• Chemical potential difference- is a form of potential
energy that can be absorbed or released during a
chemical reaction.
6. • Atoms in optical lattice are super cold to
form condensates ,may form states
analogous to electron.
7. It has been concluded that atomtronics systems
provides a nice test of fundamental concepts in
condensed matter physics.While these ideas have been
modeled,they are not yet to be built.They are:
• Atomtronics battery
• Atomtronics conductor
• Atomtronics diode
• Atomtronics transistor
Atomtronics devices
8. Atomtronic battery
• Schematic of atoms in a lattice
connected to an atomtronic battery.
A voltage is applied by connecting the
one of higher(left) and another
of lower(right)by chemical potential.
• Giving rise to a current from left to right.
9. Atomtronic diode
• The atomtronic diode is a device that allows an
atomic flux to flow across it in essentially only one
direction.
• The atomic diode is achieved by energetically shifting
one half of the optical lattice with respect to the
other.
10. Atomtronic transistor
• The desired function of an atomtronic transistor is to enable a
weak atomtronic current to be amplified or to switch,either
on or off ,a much larger one and acts as an amplifier.
• By configuring the optical lattice in a manner researchers
show that it is possible to recover the characteristics of the
conventional electronic transistor in the atomic world.
11. Conclusion
• Atomtronic is still a theoritical subject,and needs lot of
development and research to make it a reality.
• It is pointed out, however that atomtronic probably won’t
able to entirely replace electronics as atoms are sluggish
compared to electron
18. Situation reaction test
1) You:
a) can work hard in day time but not in the night
b) Do not mind working extra hours if the situation demands so
c) Are an early riser and go to bed early
d) Feel sleepy if you have to work late night
2) If friends asks for some money from you,you will
a) Refuse to give
b) Ask for what purpose the money is required and then decide
c) Immediately give the money without inquiries about the purpose
d) None of these
3) If in an examination hall, you find that the question paper is too tough to be
answered satisfactorily by you, the best thing to do for you is to
a) tell the examiner that the questions are out of course
b) provoke the candidates to walk out of the examination hall
c) try to know something from your neighbour
d) try to solve the questions as much as you know with a cool head
