Summary

A MICROSCOPIC THEORY IS DEVELOPED FOR CURRENT BIASED TUNNEL JUNCTIONS WITH LOW CAPACITY AND CONDUCTIVITY. THE THEORY DESCRIBES IN A NATURAL WAY THE DISCRETENESS OF BOTH ONE-ELECTRON AND PAIR (JOSEPHSON) COMPONENTS OF THE TUNNEL CURRENT. IT IS SHOWN THAT EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF THE LATTER COMPONENT, FOR EXAMPLE ON TUNNELING BETWEEN NORMAL METALS, COHERENT OSCILLATIONS OF THE ELECTRIC CHARGE AND VOLTAGE IN THE JUNCTION MAY ARISE WHICH POSSESS A FREQUENCY PROPORTIONAL TO THE MEAN CURRENT.
