Possible control method for single-electron tunneling based on environmental-impedance modulation

A device that consists of a double tunnel junction and an environmental impedance is considered. The numerical results obtained show that the number of the island charge and the net current of the single-electron-tunneling (SET) device can be controlled by changing the resistive environmental impeda...

Description
Summary:A device that consists of a double tunnel junction and an environmental impedance is considered. The numerical results obtained show that the number of the island charge and the net current of the single-electron-tunneling (SET) device can be controlled by changing the resistive environmental impedance. This suggests a control method for SET devices.
