Abstract
Sinusoidal conductivity variation is observed in highly resistive granular NbN thin films when an external electric field is applied perpendicular to the film surface at low temperatures. The electric charge necessary to make 1 cycle of conductivity variation is estimated to be about electron pair charge 2e.Keywords
