Bit corruption correlation and autocorrelation in a stochastic binary nano-bit system

Abstract

The corruption process of a binary nano-bit model resulting from an interaction with N stochastically-independent Brownian agents (BAs) is studied with the help of Monte-Carlo simulations and analytic continuum theory to investigate the data corruption process through the measurement of the spatial two-point correlation and the autocorrelation of bit corruption at the origin. By taking into account a more realistic correlation between bits, this work will contribute to the understanding of the soft error or the corruption of data stored in nano-scale devices.
