Abstract

We report on the change of normal resistance in tunnel junctions brought about by the application of a sufficiently large voltage at temperatures of 4.2 K and lower. This effect can be of use in various branches of electron and Cooper-pair tunneling, including the optimization of quasiparticle mixers. The voltage-induced change of the normal resistance can be reversed by warming up the sample to room temperature.
