We investigate the intrinsic noise of a micro-mechanical displacement detector based on the radio-frequency single-electron transistor (rf-SET). Using the noise analysis of a SET by Korotkov as our starting point, we determine the spectral…

A single-electron transistor (SET) can be used as an extremely sensitive charge detector. Mechanical displacements can be converted into charge, and hence, SETs can become sensitive detectors of mechanical oscillations. For studying…

We consider a model of a quantum-mechanical resonator capacitively coupled to a single electron transistor (SET). The tunnel current in the SET is modulated by the vibrations of the resonator, and thus the system operates as a displacement…

A theoretical analysis of the charge sensitivity of the RF-SET is presented. We use the ``orthodox'' approach and consider the case when the carrier frequency is much less than $I/e$ where $I$ is the typical current through RF-SET. The…

We present the fabrication and measurement of a radio frequency single electron transistor (rf-SET), that displays a very high charge sensitivity of 1.9 microlectrons/sqrt(Hz) at 4.2 K. At 40 mK, the charge sensitivity is 0.9 and 1.0…

Telegraph noise, which originates from the switching of charge between meta-stable trapping sites, becomes increasingly important as device sizes approach the nano-scale. For charge-based quantum computing, this noise may lead to…

By operating the radio frequency single electron transistor (rf-SET) as a mixer we present measurements in which the RC roll-off of the tunnel junctions is observed at high frequencies. Our technique makes use of the non-linear rf-SET…

The radio frequency single electron transistor (rf-SET) possesses key requirements necessary for reading out a solid state quantum computer. This work explores the use of the rf-SET as a single-shot readout device in the presence of 1/f and…

We compare charge transitions on a deterministic single P donor in silicon using radio frequency reflectometry measurements with a tunnel coupled reservoir and DC charge sensing using a capacitively coupled single electron transistor (SET).…

We present results on a double-island single-electron transistor (DISET) operated at radio-frequency (rf) for fast and highly sensitive detection of charge motion in the solid state. Using an intuitive definition for the charge sensitivity,…

Ultra-sensitive detectors and readout devices based on the radio frequency single electron transistor (rf-SET) combine near quantum-limited sensitivity with fast operation. Here we describe a twin rf-SET detector that uses two…

We have analyzed the response and noise-limited sensitivity of the radio-frequency single-electron transistor (RF-SET), extending the previously developed theory to the case of arbitrary large quality factor Q of the RF-SET tank circuit. It…

Radio-frequency (rf)- operated single-electron transistors (SETs) are high-sensitivity, fast-response electrometers, which are valuable for developing new insights into single-charge dynamics. We investigate high-frequency (up to 1 MHz)…

We have analyzed numerically the response and noise-limited charge sensitivity of a radio-frequency single-electron transistor (RF-SET) in a non-superconducting state using the orthodox theory. In particular, we have studied the performance…

In this letter, we describe operation of a radio-frequency superconducting single electron transistor (RF-SSET) with an on-chip superconducting LC matching network consisting of a spiral inductor L and its capacitance to ground. The…

We demonstrate a sensitive method of charge detection based on radio-frequency readout of the Josephson inductance of a superconducting single-electron transistor. Charge sensitivity $1.4 \times 10^{-4}e/\sqrt{Hz}$, limited by preamplifier,…

We have investigated radio-frequency single-electron transistor (RF-SET) operation of single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots in the strong tunneling regime. At 4.2 K and carrier frequency 754.2 MHz, we reach a charge sensitivity of…

We experimentally characterise the impedance of a single electron transistor (SET) at an excitation frequency comparable to the electron tunnel rate. Differently from usual rf-SET operations, the excitation signal is applied to the gate of…

We have systematically measured the shot noise in a single electron transistor (SET) as a function of bias and gate voltages. By embedding a SET in a resonance circuit we have been able to measure its shot noise at the resonance frequency…

Radio-frequency reflectometry in silicon single-electron transistors (SETs) is presented. At low temperatures (<4 K), in addition to the expected Coulomb blockade features associated with charging of the SET dot, quasi-periodic oscillations…
