ABSTRACT
We observed current-voltage characteristics of superconducting single charge transistors with on-chip resistors of R approximately R(Q)=h/4e(2) approximately 6.45 kOmega, which are explained in terms of Cooper pair cotunneling. Both the effective strength of Josephson coupling and the cotunneling current are modulated by the gate-induced charge on the transistor island. For increasing values of the resistance R we found the Cooper pair current at small transport voltages to be dramatically suppressed.
