Abstract

We propose a model to explain recent experimental results concerning the charge trapping in a system of ultrasmall tunnel junctions. Degradation processes in the system are assumed to generate the strange single-electron jumps observed. The model predicts many spectacular features of charge trapping so that it can easily be verified.
