Abstract
A two-island single-electron tunneling system is presented that exhibits negative differential conductance (NDC) based on Coulomb blockade. The NDC mechanism is explained by introducing a simple analysis method, the polytope approximation. A condition for NDC to occur is analyzed fully by using the polytope approximation.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
