摘要：

Giant discrete resistance fluctuations are reported in large (50×50 m2) tunnel junctions of Au-Al2O3-Au over the temperature range 4 140 K, with applied dc bias voltages of 0 2 V. The fluctuations are believed to result from single electrons trapped on defect sites within the insulating barrier of the tunnel junction. The temperature and bias-voltage dependence of the characteristic switching lifetimes of these fluctuations have been measured, and departures from previously reported behavior are observed. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
