N. Yoshikawa et al., INFLUENCE OF INHOMOGENEITY ON CORRELATED SINGLE-ELECTRON TUNNELING INONE-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY OF SMALL TUNNEL-JUNCTIONS, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 1309-1310
Simulation calculations are made on the influence of inhomogeneity of
junction parameters on correlated single-electron tunneling in a long
one-dimensional array of small tunnel junctions. Current-voltage chara
cteristics, static electric field dependence and frequency spectrum of
voltage oscillations of the array are numerically calculated using th
e randomly scattered junction parameters. It is found that correlation
of single-electron transfer is not seriously disturbed by inhomogenei
ty of the junction parameters.
