Abstract
Ternary quantum dot cellular automata (tQCA) is an emerging as well as an interesting field of research area after successful fabrication of binary QCA. Ternary logic is a critical choice for solving greater data storage, faster arithmetic operation on complex data, and so on. In this paper, tQCA basic logic gates like ternary AND, OR, NOT gates and buffers have been reported. tQCA layout for basic logic gates is simulated with tQCA simulation software (TQCA_1.7.0.2). Involvement of coulombic interactive force is also explored as physical proof of NOT gate operation in eight-dot tQCA device model.
