| B0101 | sigh, apprently, getting other isotopes of Silicon are getting harder... | 08:12 |
|---|---|---|
| B0101 | hi, do you think aiming a neutron beam at Silicon 28 atoms will turn them into Silicon 29? | 11:43 |
| azonenberg | B0101: Maybe, not sure | 11:51 |
| azonenberg | nuclear physics isnt my strong point | 11:51 |
| azonenberg | What do you want Si-29 for? | 11:51 |
| B0101 | Its spin | 11:53 |
| B0101 | I feel that we may be able to use the 'Spin Up' or 'Spin Down' states to represent '1' or '0' for Quantum Computation | 11:55 |
| Sync__ | B0101: there are neutron transmution doping machines | 11:58 |
| B0101 | Sync__: IIRC, someone told me I need quite a high amount of energy to transmutate elements. So how much energy does my beam need to reach? | 12:01 |
| Sync__ | well, I guess it just depends on the neutron flux | 12:02 |
| Sync__ | because that should be propability | 12:04 |
| B0101 | wow... won't you agree that if we have to put an ample amount of nuclear physics into #homecmos, It defeats the 'hobbyist-friendly' part of the project... | 12:10 |
| Sync__ | well making thermal neutrons is one of the easier things | 12:12 |
| Sync__ | hmm I'm not so sure if you need Si 29 for spintronics | 12:14 |
| Sync__ | I'm also not so sure if there is that much use in semiconducting for that, harddisks use it | 12:18 |
| B0101 | to compute data? | 12:19 |
| Sync__ | no | 12:19 |
| Sync__ | to store moar data in the same space | 12:20 |
| B0101 | sorry about that, my actual message was: What about Si 29 for computing data? | 12:21 |
| Sync__ | well, as I said, I'm not sure if there is much research into that | 12:21 |
| Sync__ | there seems to be | 12:23 |
