M. Sassetti et al., COULOMB-BLOCKADE AT A TUNNEL JUNCTION BETWEEN 2 QUANTUM WIRES WITH LONG-RANGE INTERACTION, Solid state communications, 101(12), 1997, pp. 915-919
The non-linear current-voltage characteristic of a tunnel junction bet
ween two Luttinger systems is calculated for an interaction with finit
e range. Coulomb blockade features are found. The dissipative resistan
ce, the capacitance and the external impedance, which were introduced
ad hoc in earlier theories, are obtained in terms of the electron-elec
tron interaction. The frequency dependence of the impedance is given b
y the excitation spectrum of the electrons. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science
