Abstract
We report on measurements of the current-voltage characteristics of ultrasmall Josephson junctions. The junctions were made of either Al or Pb alloy, and the leads connecting the junctions to the outside world were high resistance thin film microstrips fabricated on the chip very close to the junction. The high frequency impedance of these leads was sufficiently large to enable the observation in a single Josephson junction of the Coulomb blockade of Cooper pair tunneling, as well as evidence for the time correlation of Cooper pair tunneling (Bloch Oscillations).
