We describe sensitive magnetometry using lumped-element resonators fabricated from a superconducting thin film of NbTiN. Taking advantage of the large kinetic inductance of the superconductor, we demonstrate a continuous resonance frequency…
Quantization of the magneto-thermoelectric transport is studied when an external d.c. magnetic field is applied to the C/N-knot formed as crossing between a narrow stripe of conducting atomic monolayer C on the one hand and metal stripe N…
We describe an ultra-sensitive atomic magnetometer using optically-pumped potassium atoms operating in spin-exchange relaxation free (SERF) regime. We demonstrate magnetic field sensitivity of 160 aT/Hz$^{1/2}$ in a gradiometer arrangement…
An unusual increase of the conductance with temperature is observed in clean quantum point contacts for conductances larger than 2e^2/h. At the same time a positive magnetoresistance arises at high temperatures. A model accounting for…
We measure charge transport in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) using a nanometer scale silicon MOSFET as a charge sensor. This charge detection technique makes possible the measurement of extremely large resistances. At high…
We present gate-dependent transport measurements of Kondo impurities in bare gold break junctions, generated with high yield using an electromigration process that is actively controlled. Thirty percent of measured devices show zero-bias…
Quantum sensors based on cold atoms are being developed which produce measurements of unprecedented accuracy. Due to shifts in atomic energy levels, quantum sensors often have stringent requirements on their internal magnetic field…
In this letter, we present a study of optimized TMR magnetic field sensors as a function of voltage bias. The 1/f low-frequency noise is quantified by the Hooge-like parameter {\alpha} which allows to compare the low-frequency behavior of…
The effects of finite temperature in transport through nanoscopic systems exhibiting uniaxial magnetic anisotropy D, such as molecular magnets, adatoms, or quantum dots side-coupled to a large spin are analyzed in the Kondo regime. The…
We report the on-wafer characterization of $S$-parameters and microwave noise temperature ($T_{50}$) of discrete metamorphic InGaAs high electron mobility transistors (mHEMTs) at 40 K and 300 K and over a range of drain-source voltages…
We present temperature-dependent magneto-transport experiments around the charge neutrality point in graphene and determine the amplitude of potential fluctuations $s$ responsible for the formation of electron-hole puddles. The experimental…
Experimental conditions for simultaneous measurements of transport coefficients of high temperature superconductors in zero and non-zero magnetic fields are analysed. Test measurements of the thermal conductivity, the thermoelectric power…
We report magneto-transport measurements on high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) confined in In_0.75Ga_0.25As/In_0.75Al_0.25As single quantum wells. Several quantum Hall states are observed in a wide range of temperatures…
We consider a strongly interacting quantum dot connected to two leads held at quite different temperatures. Our aim is to study the behavior of the Kondo effect in the presence of large thermal biases. We use three different approaches,…
The quantum behaviour of the electromagnetic field in mesoscopic elements is intimately linked to the quantization of the charge. In order to probe nonclassical aspects of the field in those elements, it is essential that thermal noise be…
We studied phase coherent phenomena in mesoscopic Permalloy samples by exploring low temperature transport. Both, differential conductance as a function of bias voltage and magnetoconductance of individual wires display conductance…
Coulomb blockade thermometers (CBTs) are versatile and, in principle, primary thermometers operating down to the micro-Kelvin range but bias heating spoils the thermometry and the primary mode. Here, we introduce a method to extract the CBT…
We study electron transport through a quantum interferometer with side-coupled quantum dots. The interferometer, threaded by a magnetic flux $\phi$, is attached symmetrically to two semi-infinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes. The…
We present a thermometry scheme to extract the temperature of a 2DEG by monitoring the charge occupation of a weakly tunnel-coupled 'thermometer' quantum dot using a quantum point contact detector. Electronic temperatures between 97 mK and…
Measurements of the drift velocities of electrons and holes as functions of electric field and temperature in high-purity n- and p-type silicon with <100> crystal orientation are presented. The measurements cover electric field values…
