A subKelvin scanning probe microscope for the electronic spectroscopy of an individual nano-device
T. Quaglio, F. Dahlem, S. Martin, A. Gérardin, C.B. Winkelmann, H. CourtoisWe present a combined scanning force and tunneling microscope working in a dilution refrigerator that is optimized for the study of individual electronic nano-devices. This apparatus is equipped with commercial piezo-electric positioners enabling the displacement of a sample below the probe over several hundred microns at very low temperature, without excessive heating. Atomic force microscopy based on a tuning fork resonator probe is used for cryogenic precise alignment of the tip with an individual device. We demonstrate the local tunnelingspectroscopy of a hybrid Josephson junction as a function of its current bias.
