Cotunneling and renormalization effects for the single-electron transistor
We study electron transport through a small metallic island in the perturbative regime. Using a diagrammatic real-time technique, we calculate the occupation of the island as well as the conductance through the transistor at arbitrary temperature and bias voltage in forth order in the tunneling matrix elements, a process referred to as cotunneling. Our formulation does not require the introduct...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of a Molecular Single-Electron Transistor
In this paper, to understand the concept of coupling, molecule density of states that coupled to the metal electrodes will be explained then, based on this concept, a weak and strong coupling for the molecules attached to the metal electrodes will be described. Capacitance model is used to explore the connection of addition energy with the Electron affinity and the ionization energy of the mole...
متن کاملCotunneling in single-electron devices: Effects of stray capacitances.
An analytic treatment of the effects of stray capacitances on cotunneling in single-electron devices with equal junction capacitances is presented. By using analytical forms of the Gibbs free energy and by extending the Jensen-Martinis approximation @Phys. Rev. B 46, 13 407 ~1992!#, we have calculated the threshold voltages and currents for cotunneling in one-dimensional arrays, single-electron...
متن کاملInductive single-electron transistor.
We demonstrate a sensitive method of charge detection based on radio-frequency readout of the Josephson inductance of a superconducting single-electron transistor. Charge sensitivity 1.4 x 10(-4) e/square root Hz, limited by a preamplifier, is achieved in an operation mode which takes advantage of the nonlinearity of the Josephson potential. Owing to reactive readout, our setup has more than 2 ...
متن کاملThe single electron transistor and artificial atoms
Modern techniques of lithography make it possible to confine electrons to sufficiently small dimensions that the quantization of both their charge and their energy are easily observable. When such confined electrons are allowed to tunnel to metallic leads a single electron transistor (SET) is created. This transistor turns on and off again every time one electron is added to the isolated region...
