Abstract
We have studied the behavior of a charged two-level fluctuator in an Al-AlOx -Al single-electron transistor (SET) in the normal state over a temperature range from 85 mK to 3K. The fluctuator caused the SET's island charge to shift by δQ0= 0.11 0.025 e with an escape rate out of each state which was periodic in the gate voltage. We compare our results to a model which assumes the fluctuator resides in the tunnel junction and discuss model predictions for when the device is in the superconductng state.Citation
