The electrical charge is quantized in the elementary quantum –e carried by single electrons. In mesoscopic systems at sufficiently low temperature, this discrete elementary charge can give rise to peculiar electrostatic effects. With achieving the ability of making small devices on the scale of less than few hundred nanometers, devices based on single-electron charging effects have been proposed and realized in the last 15 years.
