Abstract

We report a cryogenic transimpedance amplifier (TA) suitable for cross-correlation current-noise measurements. The TA comprises homemade high-electron-mobility transistors with high transconductance and low noise characteristics, fabricated in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. The low input-referred noise and wide frequency band of the TA lead to a high resolution in current-noise measurements. The TA’s low input impedance suppresses unwanted crosstalk between two distinct currents from a sample, justifying the advantage of the TA for cross-correlation measurements. We demonstrate the high resolution of a TA-based experimental setup by measuring the shot noise generated at a quantum point contact in a quantum Hall system.
