The Coulomb gap in the I(V) curves can be expressed as a simple function of the capacitances in the series. Furthermore, the magnitude of the differential conductivity at current onset is calculated in terms of the model. The results are discussed with respect to the number of junctions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-06-13T14:00:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiple arbitrary tunnel junctions", "electronic transport", "monte carlo simulations", "single electron charging effects", "multiple tunnel junctions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
