Electron-Electron Interaction in Linear Arrays of Small Tunnel Junctions
We have calculated the spatial distribution of the electrostatic potential created by an unbalanced charge q in one of the conducting electrodes of a long, uniform, linear array of small tunnel junctions. The distribution describes, in particular, the shape of a topological single-electron soliton in such an array. An analytical solution obtained for a circular cross section model is compared w...
متن کاملQuantum interference and Coulomb interaction in arrays of tunnel junctions
We study the electronic properties of an array of small metallic grains connected by tunnel junctions. Such an array serves as a model for a granular metal. Previous theoretical studies of junction arrays were based on models of quantum dissipation which did not take into account the diffusive motion of electrons within the grains. We demonstrate that these models break down at sufficiently low...
متن کاملTransport of electron-hole pairs in arrays of small tunnel junctions.
We investigate charge transport in two capacitively coupled 1D arrays of small tunnel junctions, attached to two diAerent circuits. The electron and hole placed in adjacent electrodes of diAerent arrays form a sort of "exciton" that moves as a whole. It was shown that under certain conditions only these excitons contribute to the charge transport along the junction arrays, so that the currents ...
متن کاملExact solution for charge solitons in two coupled one-dimensional arrays of small tunnel junctions.
An exact solution for the potential profile of two coupled one-dimensional arrays each with m junctions with equal junction capacitances C , equal stray capacitances C0 , and equal coupling capacitances Cc is presented. Analytical expressions for the total free energy as well as the injection threshold voltage Vt of various charge solitons ~an electron-hole pair, a single charge soliton, or a c...
متن کاملSmall-capacitance Josephson Junctions: One-dimensional Arrays and Single Junctions
Small-capacitance superconducting tunnel junctions provide an ideal system for studying the interplay between the Josephson phase and the charge on the junction electrode, which are quantum mechanically conjugate to each other. This interplay can be probed through the superconductor-insulator (SI) transition [1], which is a quantum phase transition occurring at T = 0. The SI transition has been...
