Analytical calculation of single-electron oscillations in one-dimensional arrays of tunnel junctions.

چکیده
We present an analytical expression for the spectral density of the current Sowing through a one-dimensional array of identical small-area tunnel junctions. Negligible stray capacitance, zero temperature, and the voltage close to Coulomb blockade threshold mere assumed. Single-electron oscillations appear explicitly (i.e., their linewidth becomes less than the average frequency) when the number of junctions is larger than 15.

Room Temperature Hydrogen Sensor Based on Single-Electron Tunneling Between Palladium Nanoparticles
In this paper, we present the results of single-electron tunneling in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal closed packed arrays of palladium nanoparticles. After inspecting the emergence of Coulomb blockade phenomena, we demonstrate the possibilities of using these arrays as a single-electron tunneling based hydrogen sensor. We assumed arrays of palladium nanoparticles with diameters of 3.5 and 6...

An exact solution for the potential profile of two coupled one-dimensional arrays each with m junctions with equal junction capacitances C , equal stray capacitances C0 , and equal coupling capacitances Cc is presented. Analytical expressions for the total free energy as well as the injection threshold voltage Vt of various charge solitons ~an electron-hole pair, a single charge soliton, or a c...

Multi Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) have attracted much attention recently in the fields of Single-Electron Transistor (SET) and Single-Electron Memory (SEM). In this paper, we investigate a nano-device structure using a two one dimensional array MTJs connected to the basic Single Electron Circuits, in order to analyze the impact of physical parameters on the performances and application of this stru...
متن کاملSingle-electron soliton avalanches in tunnel-junction arrays
Numerical modeling of correlated single-electron tunneling in uniform two-dimensional arrays of small conducting islands separated by tunnel junctions shows the possibility of soliton-antisoliton avalanches. Though the time duration of any avalanche and the total charge, DQ5ne , transferred across the array during the avalanche are always finite in arrays with length N larger than certain criti...
متن کاملElectron-Electron Interaction in Linear Arrays of Small Tunnel Junctions
We have calculated the spatial distribution of the electrostatic potential created by an unbalanced charge q in one of the conducting electrodes of a long, uniform, linear array of small tunnel junctions. The distribution describes, in particular, the shape of a topological single-electron soliton in such an array. An analytical solution obtained for a circular cross section model is compared w...
