82. In Ref. the average threshold voltage is predicted to be linear on the number of junctions, which in our case is N+1. It is straightforward to argue for both α=1,1/2 that V̄ T is linear in the number of bulk islands N as observed in Fig. 1. In large arrays the difference between both predictions is negligible.
