Title: Effects of Dissipation on a Superconducting Single Electron Transistor

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

We measure the effect of dissipation on the minimum zero-bias conductance, G{sup min}{sub 0} , of a superconducting single electron transistor (sSET) capacitively coupled to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Depleting the 2DEG with a back gate voltage decreases the dissipation experienced by the sSET in situ. We find that G{sup min}{sub 0} increases as the dissipation is increased or the temperature is reduced; the functional forms of these dependences are compared with the model of Wilhelm etal.in which the leads coupled to the sSET are represented by lossy transmission lines.
