Abstract
We report on experiments of charging in small normal metal tunnel junc tions attached to well-defined resistive impedances. Our experiments a re in very good agreement with the phase-correlation (PC) theory but n ot with the simplified voltage fluctuation (VF) model. The strong tunn elling corrections to the PC theory make the agreement with our result s even better in the case of junctions with low resistance.
