Thus, in order to hae a high quality turnstile, it is necessary to keep the stray capacitances small American Institute of Physics. S I. INTRODUCTION Recent adances in nanoscale fabrication techniques 1,2 hae enabled one to design deices based on the controlled transfer of single electrons due to the Coulomb blockade effect. These deices are, in particular, potentially useful for metrological applications such as fundumental standards of dc current and for digital deices. The most remarkable candidates for such standards are the single-electron turnstile, 3 where a gate electrode controlled by an rf signal is capacitiely coupled to the center of the array, and the single electron pump, 4 where two gate electrodes controlled by two rf signals are capacitiely coupled to the electrodes inside the array. Using the gate oltage V g in these deices, one can make a single electron enter the island from the left junction, hold it in the island for an arbitrary time, and finally make it leae the island through the right junction. In the literature, Aerin, Odintso, and Vyshenskii hae analyzed the dynamics of single electron tunneling in the turnstile and presented a detailed diagram illustrating the turnstile operation in the bias oltage gate oltage plane see Fig. 2 in Ref. 5. Neertheless, their study is restricted to the simplified turnstile with no stray capacitances, while the actual experimental systems 6 hae stray capacitances. The aim of the this article is to perform a general study of the dynamics of single electron tunneling in the turnstile. In particular, we analyze the effects of the stray capacitances on the turnstile operation. II. FORMULATION a Electronic mail: phrfoc@lsum.sncc.lsu.edu Let us consider a 2N turnstile, consisting of a onedimensional 1D array of 2N equal junction capacitances C, and equal stray capacitances C 0, as shown in Fig. 1, where the bias oltage of the left edge is 0 V/2, while that of the right edge is 2N V/2. The gate oltage V g is connected to the middle electrode of the arrays ia a coupling capacitance C c. We denote the potential and the number of excess electrons on each of the indiidual 2N1 islands between the junctions in the array by the column ectors 1, 2,..., N,..., 2N1 T and n n 1 CV/ 2e,n 2,...,n N U,n N1,...,n 2N1 CV/2e T, respectiely, where UCV g /e and C c /C. The equations giing the relations between the island potentials i and the number of the excess electrons n i on the islands are deried from the charge conseration laws, which are expressed as i1 D i i1 n i e/c i1,2,...,n1,n1,...,2n1, N1 D N N1 n N Ue/C, where D2 with C 0 /C and D2. These equations can be coneniently written in its matrix form M n e/c, where M isa2n12n1 symmetric matrix haing submatrices as follows: S T M D S. T Here S is an (N1)(N1) symmetric tridiagonal matrix, haing the same diagonal elements 2 and the same offdiagonal elements 1, the column ectors 1 0,0,...,1 T and 1 1,0,...,0 hae all N1 elements, and 0 is an (N1) (N1) null matrix. By using the method presented in Ref. 7 for inersion of a symmetric matrix M, we obtain from Eq. 3 M 1 n e/crn e/c, where the elements of the symmetric matrix R are gien by J. Appl. Phys. 80 (3), 1 August /96/80(3)/1526/6/$ American Institute of Physics

The bias oltages of the left edge and right edge are V/2 and V/2, respectiely. The gate oltage V g is connected to the middle electrode of the arrays ia the coupling capacitor. sinh isinh2n jddsinh N sinhn jn j/sinh R ij sinh sinh 2NDDsinh 2 N for i j, in, and j2n1 6 with defined by 2 cosh D, (x) being the Heaiside step function, which equals 1 for x0 and 0 for x0. The symmetric matrix R in Eq. 5 has the following symmetric properties: R ji R ij, R 2Ni,2N j R ij, 7 which is due to the symmetric structure of the turnstile with equal junction capacitances. Equation 5, supplemented by Eq. 6, is the main result of this article. We see that the potential profile i can be determined from Eq. 5 if the charge profile n i is gien. Now we ealuate the Gibbs free energy of the 2N turnstile, which is a crucial quantity in determining the rate of tunneling through the small junctions. The Gibbs free energy of the 2N turnstile is the sum of the electrostatic energy E s and the work done W due to the charge redistribution associated with the change of the charge profile n on the island: 2N W i1 N1 V i Q i i1 2N1 i Q s i in1 i Q i s V g N Q c, 10 where the first, second, and last terms on the right-hand side of Eq. 10 are, respectiely, the work done by the contribution of the 2N junctions, the stray capacitors, and the coupling capacitor. Also, V i i1 i while 0 V/2 and 2N V/2 denote the local oltages, and Q i, Q s i, and Q c are the charges on the ith junction, on the ith stray capacitor, FE s W, 8 where the electrostatic energy E s is defined as 2N E s C 2 i1 i i1 2 N1 i1 2N 2e V g N n i i. i0 2N1 2 i in1 i 2 9 Here the first term on the right-hand side of Eq. 9 is the total charging energy for the junctions, the second and third terms are the charging energies for the stray capacitors and the coupling capacitor, respectiely, and the last term is the electrostatic energy of the excess electrons in the islands between eery two nearest-neighbor junctions connected in series. The work done due to the charge redistribution associated with the change of the charge profile n is gien by FIG. 2. Charging energy E c (k) in units of e 2 / fora2nturnstile with the number of junctions N10, with UCV g /e1 and CV/e0.5, and with an excess electron at the kth island, as a function of k at three different alues of 0.01 full cures, 0.1 dotted cures, and 1 dashed cures for and 0.1, where C c /C and C 0 /C with C c, C 0, and C being the coupling capacitance, the stray capacitance, and the junction capacitance, respectiely.

3 and on the coupling capacitor, respectiely. As seen from Eqs. 9 and 10, the Gibb s free energy of Eq. 8 is now expressed in terms of the potential profile and charge profile n. With Eqs. 5 7 we obtain explicitly where FE c V 2 Q 0Q 2N V g Q N c, E c E 0 e2 2N1 n i R ij n j, i, j E 0 1 4CV 2 1R 11 R 1,2N1 1 c V g 2 1R NN, 13 Q 0 n 0 ec 0 1, Q 2N n 2N ec 2N 2N1, Q N c C c V g N. 16 Equation 11 is a general expression for the Gibbs free energy of a 2N turnstile with bias oltage 0, 2N, charge n, and potential profile on the islands. Next, we calculate the charging energy E c of the system, where there is an excess electron on the kth island. In this case, one has n i ik, and the charging energy term in Eq. 12 reduces to E c ke 0 e2 R kk, 17 where E 0 is gien by Eq. 13 and is independent of the charge profile n. Using Eq. 6, the charging energy can be rewritten as e 2 0 E c ke sinh ksinh2nksinh N sinhnk/sinh sinh sinh 2Nsinh 2 N E 0 e2 sinh2nksinh ksinh N sinhkn/sinh sinh sinh 2Nsinh 2 N for 0kN for Nk2N. 18 Based on a numerical ealuation of Eq. 18, we present in Fig. 2 the dependence of the charging energy E c (k) on the island position k for alues of 0.01, 0.1, and 1 and and 0.1 for a fixed N10, U1, and CV/e0.5. As shown in the figure, E c (k) has exactly a symmetric form about the middle island (k10). When and become zero, E c (k) has its the maximum alue on the middle island (N). As the alue increases, the positions of the maximum alues of the E c (k) moe from the middle island (N) to the (N/2)th and (3N/2)th islands. For large, the E c (k) for the middle island approaches the minimum alue, and hence the barrier height on the middle island will be a maximum. To get the explicit expression for the barrier height of the trapped electron, we find, using Eq. 18, the position k m, corresponding to the maximum alue of the barrier height: 1 4 k m N ln e e e 2N 1 e e 1e 2N for 0kN N 1 4 ln e e e 2N 19 1 e e 1e 2N for Nk2N. In the aboe ealuation, we hae treated k m as a continuous ariable, whereas it is an integer. Thus, to obtain the position, we should take the closest integer to the alue gien by Eq. 19. Inthe1 limit, Eq. 19 reduces to a simple form, 2 1 k m 1N N 1 N 2 3 1N 1 for 0kN for Nk2N. For ery small and, all the k m of Eqs. 19 and 20 tend to the alue of N, which is the position of the middle island, while, in the N1 limit, the k m of Eq. 20 approaches N/2 for 0kN and 3N/2 for Nk2N, respectiely, as seen from Fig. 2. With Eqs. 18 and 19, we can obtain the alue of the barrier height E for an electron on the edge of the junction and on the middle island, respectiely: e2 e 2 E 1 e 2 /R km k m R 11 tanh k m sinh sinh2n1sinh N sinhn1 2 sinh sinh sinh 2Nsinh 2 N for 0k m N tanh k m 2 sinh sinh sinh2n1sinh N sinhn1 sinh sinh 2Nsinh 2 N for Nk m 2N 20, J.

The barrier height E (N) for the trapped electron on the middle island increases when either the number of the junctions N or the alue increases and the alue decreases. Howeer, the barrier height E (1) for an electron on the edge of the junction increases when the number of the junctions N increases or the alue decreases. III. OPERATION CONDITIONS FOR TURNSTILE Next, we calculate the change of the Gibbs free energy F due to some charge transfer tunnel eent by means of Eq. 11. For simplicity, we consider only the case where the charge transfer occurred between islands k and k, while the charges on the other islands remain unchanged. We denote the charges on these two islands before and after the charge transfer, respectiely, as n k,n k and n k,n k, and the net transferred charges as Q. Under the aboe condition, the change of the Gibbs free energy F Q (k,k) due to the charge transfer n k,n k to n k,n k can be deried from Eq. 11. In particular, for the single electron transfer case with n i ik and n i i,k, it reduces to F e k,k e2 R k k R kk CV e 0,k 0,k 2N,k 2N,k R 1k R 1k R 2N1,k R 2N1,k 2U 1,nN R Nk R Nk. 23 The tunneling of a charge soliton from the kth island to the kth island in the turnstile takes place when the change of the Gibbs free energy F Q (k,k) is less than zero. Using Eq. 23 and following the original argument of Aerin, Odintso, and Vyshenskii, 5 we now derie the operating conditions for an empty turnstile with capacitances. In order to pull an electron into the empty turnstile from the left-hand side, one should hae F e (0,1)0 and F e (2N,2N1)0, which gie the conditions u A B, u A B, where un c V g /e1, 2NCV/e, 26 A 2NR 1N /N, 1R 11 R 1,2N1 27 BNR 11 R 1N /R 1N. 28 In addition to Eqs. 24 and 25, one also needs to ensure that only one electron can be pulled in, and that the pulled-in electron is trapped on the central electrode. Using Eq. 23, these conditions imply u A B2N, A ub, where A 2NR NNR N,N1 /N, 31 R 1,N1 R 1,N1 BNR N1,N1 R N,N1 /R NN R N,N1. 32 Similar to the conditions 24, 25, 29, and 30, one can obtain from Eq. 23 a set of conditions for the trapped electron in the central electrode to be pushed out through the right-hand branch of the turnstile: A ub, A ub, A ub2n, A ub. 36 Equations 24, 25, 29, 30, and define the regions in the parameter plane (,u), where the turnstile can be operated correctly by modulation of the gate oltage V g between the pull-in and the push-out regions. This is further illustrated in Fig. 3, where we plot the pull-in conditions Eqs. 24, 25, 29, and 30 and push-out conditions Eqs in the (,u) plane at three different alues of stray capacitances: a 0, b 0.05, and c 0.2. When 0 corresponding to zero stray capacitance, it is clear from Eq. 6 that Eqs. 27 and 28 reduce to, respectiely, AA1, 37 BB1NN1. 38 It follows that, in the case of zero stray capacitance, our results reduce to those of the Aerin, Odintso, and Vyshenskii see Eqs. 5 7, and Fig. 2 in Ref. 5. In this case, Eqs. 24, 25, 29, 30 and form two rectangular regions in the (,u) plane see Fig. 3a, where the upper J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 80, No. 3, 1 August 1996 Kang et al. 1529
5 FIG. 3. Schematic diagram illustrating the turnstile operation in the (,u) plane at three different alues of stray capacitances: a 0; b 0.05; c 0.2, where un( c V g /e1), (2N)CV/e, C c /C, and C 0 /C with C c, C 0, and C being the coupling capacitance, the stray capacitance, and the junction capacitance, respectiely. The upper shaded region is for electron pull in and the lower shaded region is for electron push out. In the central region the turnstile is in the Coulomb blockade state. The arrows denote the transfer of one electron through the system by means of changing the gate oltage V g. shaded region is for electron pull in and the lower region is for electron push out. These two regions are separated by a square-shaped Coulomb blockade region in which the current does not flow through the turnstile. In this way, when a small frequency of gate modulation V g is applied to the system so that V g is switched between the upper and lower dashed regions in Fig. 3 as illustrated by arrows, exactly one electron is transferred through the turnstile per period of V g modulation. Also, it is indicated by Figs. 3b and 3c that when 0, the operating conditions deiates from that of the 0 case, dramatically. In general, when is increased, the central region of Coulomb blockade in Fig. 3 shrinks, and the operable regions of the turnstile become smaller. Thus, in order to hae a high quality turnstile, it is important to keep the stray capacitances small 1. IV. SUMMARY In summary, in this article we hae presented an exact analytical solution of Eq. 5 for the potential profiles of the 2N turnstile with equal junction capacitances, equal stray capacitances, and a coupling capacitance. On the basis of Eq. 5, we obtained explicit expressions for the free energy, the charging energy and the barrier height for a designated charge soliton configuration. It is shown that the charging energy, the barrier height and the free energy are ery sensitie to the alues and. Our results show that for ery small and, the charging energy has the maximum alue on the middle island, and hence the barrier height on the middle island becomes zero. Also, we hae deried the operating conditions, Eqs. 24, 25, 29, 30, and 33 36, for an empty turnstile with stray capacitances. Utilizing these conditions, we hae presented a detailed diagram illustrating the turnstile operation in the (,u) plane, as shown in Fig. 3. In the 0 (C 0 0) case see Fig. 3a, our results reduce to those of the Aerin, Odintso, and Vyshenskii. 5 When increases, the operable region of the turnstile decreases see Figs. 3b and 3c. Thus, in order to hae a high quality turnstile, it is necessary to keep the stray capacitances ery small. In conclusion, we hae obtained results which gie insight into the behaior of the 2N turnstile and should proide guideposts for future experiments J. Appl.
