Measuring carbon nanotube vibrations using a single-electron transistor as a fast linear amplifier
arXiv:1808.04687 · doi:10.1063/1.5052185
Abstract
We demonstrate sensitive and fast electrical measurements of a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator. The nanotube is configured as a single-electron transistor, whose conductance is a sensitive transducer for its own displacement. Using an impedance-matching circuit followed by a cryogenic amplifier, the vibrations can be monitored in real time. The sensitivity of this continuous displacement measurement approaches within a factor 470 of the standard quantum limit.
