Abstract
We used the Bloch theory to study single-electron tunneling. It was found that calculation can be performed easily in the crystal momentum representation. We showed analytically that under ac-biased voltage or microwave radiation the system produces response with subharmonic structures analogous to those of Josephson tunneling. Our method treated the “interband transition” as small perturbation and thus fits most experimental conditions. Some numerical results were also given.
