13. The technique we use to compensate for the effect of parasitic cross capacitances in the device also compensates for the monotonic change in potential on the dots. Therefore only the sawtooth pattern associated with the single-electron switching is seen.
14. c and the dot capacitances, must be much greater than the thermal energy in order to observe a complete polarization change.
