Towards GHz reflection on a suspended carbon nanotubePascal Brunner, •Stefan Blien, and Andreas K. Hüttel — Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics, Universität Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany

Applying GHz signals as bias of a single electron tunneling device, as, e.g., a carbon nanotube, poses an obvious challenge. The impedance mismatch of typical radiofrequency electronics at Z0=50 Ω and a quantum conductor at ZL ≫ 6 kΩ leads to predominant signal reflection. This effect can be avoided by using an impedance matching network. A specific circuit which has already been successfully used to that purpose in literature is the so-called stub tuner.

We present low-temperature reflection measurements on stub tuner geometries intended for the in-situ growth of “ultraclean” carbon nanotubes as loads. The utilized superconductor is a rhenium-molybdenum alloy highly resistant to the nanotube growth process. For a load resistance of ZL=50 kΩ impedance matching is demonstrated with a return loss > 70 dB. The stub tuner properties are consistent with previous material characterization. Finally we discuss fabrication challenges for devices integrating in-situ grown carbon nanotubes.
