Observation of Strong Coulomb Blockade in Resistively Isolated Tunnel Junctions
We report measurements of the Coulomb-blockade current in resistively isolated (RIsol h/e2) tunnel junctions for the temperature range 60 mK < T < 230 mK where the charging energy Ec is much greater than the thermal energy. A zero-bias resistance R0 of up to 10RT (the tunnel resistance of the bare junction) is obtained. For eV Ec, the IV curves for a given RIsol scale as a function of V /T , wi...
متن کاملThermo-Coulomb effects in mesoseopic tunnel junctions
We present a study of the thermoelectric effects in tunnel junctions. In particular we calculate the thermopower coefficient S and the Peltier coefficient H. For macroscopic junctions we demonstrate the sensitivity of S and H to the structure of the density of states. For mesoscopic junctions we show that Coulomb effects modify the ordinary Onsager picture and the relation H = TS. The coefficie...
متن کاملHow Is the Coulomb Blockade Suppressed in High-Conductance Tunnel Junctions?
We present a theory of the Coulomb blockade for a tunnel junction, with arbitrarily large tunnel conductance but with small channel transmissions, placed in a general electromagnetic environment containing no island. Our model, based on a self-consistent calculation of the complex admittance of the junction, predicts that high tunnel conductances wash out the Coulomb blockade and restore Ohmic ...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade thermometry using a two-dimensional array of tunnel junctions
We have measured current-voltage characteristics of two-dimensional arrays of small tunnel junctions at temperatures from 1.5 K to 4.2 K. This corresponds to thermal energies larger than the charging energy. We show that 2D-arrays can be used as primary thermometers in the same way as 1D-arrays, and even have some advantages over 1D-arrays. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations, which agr...
