Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1993–1996 (1992)Single-electron charging of a superconducting islandReceived 3 March 1992; published in the issue dated 28 September 1992 We have calculated the quasiparticle current through a superconducting island in the Coulomb blockade regime. The current depends strongly on the parity of the total number of free electrons in the island. This dependence reflects the difference between ground-state properties of the superconductor with even and with odd number of electrons. © 1992 The American Physical Society URL:
