Ia. Devyatov et Kk. Likharev, PHOTORESPONSE AND PHOTOSENSITIVITY OF SINGLE-ELECTRON-TUNNELING SYSTEMS, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 1341-1342
We have calculated photoresponse and photosensitivity of single ultras
mall current-biased tunnel junctions, single-electron transistors, and
various multi-junction arrays. In the far infrared, potential sensiti
vity of some single-electron structures compares favorably with that o
f other low-temperature photodetectors.
