Numerical analysis of radio-frequency single-electron transistor operation

چکیده
We have analyzed numerically the response and noise-limited charge sensitivity of a radio-frequency singleelectron transistor ~RF-SET! in a nonsuperconducting state using the orthodox theory. In particular, we have studied the performance dependence on the quality factor Q of the tank circuit for Q both below and above the value corresponding to the impedance matching between the coaxial cable and SET.

Radio Frequency-Single Electron Transistor: A Fast and Sensitive Electrometer Analogous to the Radio Frequency-Superconducting Quantum Interference Device
We describe a new mode of operation of the single electron transistor (SET). The so-called RF-SET (radio frequency-SET) is a dual of the RF-SQUID (radio frequency-superconducting quantum interference device). It has been operated at frequencies above 100 MHz with a very high charge sensitivity (1.2 3 10e/ÏHz). The large bandwidth, combined with a high sensitivity, will enable studies of the dyn...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Differential Radio-Frequency Single- Electron Transistor
We have fabricated and characterized a new type of electrometer that couples two parallel single-electron transistors (SETs) to a radio-frequency tank circuit for use as a differential RF-SET. We demonstrate operation of this device in summing, differential, and single-SET operation modes, and use it to measure a Coulomb staircase from a differential single Cooper-pair box. In differential mode...

We demonstrate the operation of a radio-frequency single-electron transistor (RF-SET) using single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The device is embedded in a resonant tank circuit and operates in reflection mode at temperatures as high as 5 K. Both frequency domain and time domain results are presented. With a gate modulation frequency of 1 MHz, a charge sensitivity of ∼4.78 × 10−4e/Hz−1/2 is o...

The Graphene based single electron transistor (SET) as a coulomb blockade device need to be explored .It is a unique device for high-speed operation in a nano scale regime. A single electron transfers via the coulomb barriers, but its movement may be prevented by coulomb blockade, so its effect is investigated in this research. The conditions of coulomb blockade and its controlling factors such...
متن کاملSensitivity of a micromechanical displacement detector based on the radio - frequency single - electron transistor
We investigate the tunneling shot noise limits on the sensitivity of a microme-chanical displacement detector based on a metal junction, radio-frequency single-electron transistor (rf-SET). In contrast with the charge sensitivity of the rf-SET electrometer, the displacement sensitivity improves with increasing gate voltage bias and, with a suitably optimized rf-SET, displacement sensitivities o...
