摘要：

The current-voltage characteristics of submicron normal-metal tunnel junctions at millikelvin temperatures are observed to exhibit a sharp Coulomb blockade with high-resistance thin-film leads, but to be heavily smeared for low-resistance leads. As the temperature is lowered, the zero-bias differential resistance tends asymptotically to a limit that is greater for junctions with high-resistance leads. Both observations are explained in terms of a model in which quantum fluctuations in the external circuit enhance the low-temperature tunneling rate. The predictions are in reasonable agreement with the data. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
