Abstract
We measure the average charge on a single-electron box, with an accuracy of 10-3 e as a function of an externally applied potential. At this accuracy, we observe that the total capacitance of the box is a function of temperature, of external potential and of the quasiparticle density of states in the metal from which the box is formed. We find excellent agreement between these measurements and a theory that treats the quantum fluctuations of charge perturbatively.Citation
