Abstract
We have studied the low-temperature tunneling behavior of point-contact junctions with adjustable capacitances in the -F range. The tunneling characteristics show clear evidence of single-electron tunneling, induced by a Coulomb blockade, and are in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions.
