Coulomb Staircase

Tunneling studies between a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)-controlled fine NbN tip and a NbN thin film show single electron tunneling characteristics at room temperature. The I-V curves display the Coulomb blockade and the Coulomb staircase caused by single electron charging of a series combination of two tunnel junctions. These room temperature observations indicate that it may be possible to operate single-electron-based devices in non-cryogenic regimes.
