The present invention is for particulate compositions and methods for producing them that can absorb or scatter electromagnetic radiation. The particles are homogeneous in size and are comprised of a nonconducting inner layer that is surrounded by an electrically conducting material. The ratio of the thickness of the nonconducting layer to the thickness of the outer conducting shell is determinative of the wavelength of maximum absorbance or scattering of the particle. Unique solution phase methods for synthesizing the particles involve linking clusters of the conducting atoms, ions, or molecules to the nonconducting inner layer by linear molecules. This step can be followed by growth of the metal onto the clusters to form a coherent conducting shell that encapsulates the core.

The present invention relates to a transistor based on resonant tunneling effect of double barrier tunneling junctions comprising: a substrate, an emitter, a base, a collector and a first and a second tunneling barrier layers; wherein the first tunneling barrier layer is located between the emitter and the base, and the second tunneling barrier layer is located between the base and the collector; furthermore, the junction areas of the tunneling junctions which are formed between the emitter and the base and between the base and collector respectively are 1 μm2˜10000 μm2; the thickness of the base is comparable to the electron mean free path of material in the layer; the magnetization orientation is unbounded in one and only one pole of said emitter, base and collector. Because the double-barrier structure is used, it overcomes the Schottky potential between the base and the collector. Wherein the base current is a modulating signal, the collector signal is modulated to be similar to the base current's modulating mode by changing the magnetization orientation of the base or the collector, i.e., the resonant tunneling effect occurs. An amplified signal can be obtained under the suitable conditions.
