Theodore Alan Fulton
Theodore Alan Fulton (* around 1941 in Washington (Iowa) ) is an American solid-state physicist.
Fulton graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1961 and a PhD from Cornell University in 1966 . He then went to Bell Laboratories , where he was promoted to Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff . From 1996 he was only a consultant with their successor Lucent Technologies and from 2006 with Alcatel-Lucent.
At Bell Laboratories, he initially dealt with Josephson contacts . In 1987 he and Gerald Dolan developed the first single-electron transistor at Bell Laboratories .
In the 1990s he dealt with the use of a scanning electrometer (based on the single electron transistor) to obtain images in the nanometer range of solid surfaces, for example in connection with studies of the quantum Hall effect .
In 2000 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize with Gerald Dolan and Marc Aaron Kastner for pioneering work on single-electron effects in mesoscopic systems . He is a fellow of the American Physical Society .
