Abstract:Preliminary results of a study are reported here investigating mesoscopic tunnel junctions irradiated with coherent low-intensity (−50 to −10 dB) pulsed microwave RF fields at moderately low (LN 2 ) temperatures. Quantum tunneling of electrons was observed through fabricated mesoscale gap junctions as a result of coherent irradiating fields at low temperatures around 77 -100 K. The tunneling current was seen as a result of applied microwave fields across the junctions, distinguishable from shot noise and resis… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
