  2. 1. Fluctuations and nonequilibrium thermodynamics in electronic nanosystems

    Author : Ludovico Tesser; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Charge; heat and spin transport; Hot-carrier solar cell; Nonequilibrium thermodynamics; Fluctuations and noise; Shot noise; Mesoscopic thermoelectricity;

    Abstract : In the last decades thermodynamics has seen a resurgence because of the interesting phenomena that happen in small-scale systems. Indeed, in nanoscale devices, quantum effects and fluctuations cannot generally be neglected and influence both the transport and their thermodynamic performance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fluctuations in Mesoscopic Constrictions

    Author : Jan Peter Hessling; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; low frequency; fluctuations; quantum; noise; 1 f-noise; superconductivity; impurity; point contact; Andreev reflection; shot noise;

    Abstract : In normal and superconducting quantum point contacts there are several sources of fluctuations. Thermally activated impurities in the vicinity of the junction cause the current (or voltage) to change with a typical frequency of the order of one Hz up to a few kHz. READ MORE

  5. 3. Noise Properties of the Single Electron Transistor

    Author : Serguei Kafanov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Low-Frequency noise; Shot Noise; 1 f noise; Single Electron Transistor; charge sensitivity; SET; electrometer; Coulomb blockade; radio-frequency Single Electron Transistor; RF-SET;

    Abstract : The Single Electron Transistor (SET) is a sensitive electrometer with a charge sensitivityultimately limited by noise. In this thesis we present measurements of noiseproperties and charge sensitivity of the radio-frequency Single Electron Transistor. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Cryogenic Low Noise 4-8 GHz HEMT Amplifier and its Advanced Characterization

    Author : Erik Sundin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shot-noise; low noise amplifier; cryogenic amplifier; sis; noise measurement; HEMT;

    Abstract : In most radio astronomy instrumentation, cryogenic low noise amplifiers (LNA) are used as intermediate frequency (IF) amplifiers. The system noise temperature is among the most important parameters of a receiver and requires state of the art components. READ MORE

  7. 5. Parity Effects in Single Charge Tunneling

    Author : Magnus Gisselfält; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mesoscopic; single charge tunneling; photon-assisted tunneling; shot noise; SET transistor; parity effect; Andreev tunneling; Coulomb blockade;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is single charge tunneling effects, especially parity effects, as they are manifested in quantum mechanical tunneling through a metallic island small enough to cause single electrons to block tunneling of other electrons due to Coulomb interaction. When the island is superconducting the ground state energy depends on the parity of the number of electrons on the island: outside of the condensate there will always be at least one electron contributing to the energy for an odd number of electrons and this will have observable consequences.
