[edit] Summary
Current-voltage characteristics (IVC) of a single electron transistor (SET) showing maximum and minimum blockade (top left), and modulation curves for two different bias schemes. In R-bias (left bottom), the SET is biased from a voltage source via a high ohmic resistor, whose value determines the inclination of the trace in the IVC (the load line) as the gate voltage is varied. In V-bias (top right), the voltage across the SET is held constant by an operational amplifier setup (causing a vertical trace in the IVC), and the current is modulated with a periodicity in the gate voltage corresponding to a difference of one elementary charge induced on the gate.
