Graphene impedance quantum standard

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Graphene-based quantum standard for the practical realisation of electrical impedance units in the new SI.

    There exists a clear need for a shorter and easier traceability chain of impedance to quantum standards, available and affordable for all NMIs, calibration centres, and industry.

    Project develops enabling technology for the practical realisation of electrical impedance units (ohm, farad, henry) in the revised SI.

    VTT MIKES develops technologies needed for AC operation of a graphene quantum Hall resistance standard and a Josephson voltage standard together in a cryocooler.
