โฆ Synopsis
We have calculated photoresponse and photosensitivity of single ultrasmall current-biased tunnel junctions, single-electron transistors, and various multi-junction arrays. In the far infrared, potential sensitivity of some single-electron structures compares favorably with that of other low-temperature photodetectors.

We consider the continuum limit of the standard model for treating single-electron tunneling (SET) of electrons through a one-dimensional array of tunnel junctions. We show that the formalism reduces to the computation of the motion of overdamped particles undergoing potential gradient flow, with th
