Coulomb blockade
the situation in which a particle has insufficient thermal energy to allow the necessary energy exchange during a tunneling process. Hence, the bias supply must supply energy to the electron to account for the stored energy change in tunneling, which requires V > e/2C, where C is the capacitance (eV << kBT ).
