Abstract

A new type of molecular quantum-dot cellular automata (MQCA) candidates is suggested using the double-cage fluorinated fullerene molecules, e⁻@C₂₀F₁₈(XH)₂C₂₀F₁₈ (X = N, B), which have bistable charge configurations that could be used to encode binary information. The electron switch between the two cages leads to the QCA function.
