Abstract
It is well known that Coulomb blockade (CB) in single tunnel junction (STJ) system strongly depends on its external electromagnetic environment (EME), so called phase correlation theory. Tunneling electron can transfer its charging energy E c to the EME and charges on junction surface can be isolated from external phase fluctuation, only when the impedance of EME is larger than resistance quantum (R Q =h/e2 ~ 25.8 kΩ). It is quite interesting condition because of pure requirement from quantum mechanics. Here, some mesoscopic phenomena can also yield high impedance. In this work, we connect STJ directly to Ninanowire and multi-walled Carbon nanotube (MWNT). It is, for the first time, confirmed that mutual Coulomb interaction (MCI) in the Niwire and weak localization (WL) in the MWNT can play the role of high impedance EME of CB. It is also found that the CB is very sensitive to phase fluctuation of EME.
