Abstract: In this work, a design of transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope (CryoSTM) is proposed. The TIA with the tip-sample component in CryoSTM is called as CryoSTM-TIA. With transimpedance gain of 1 Gohm, the bandwidth of the CryoSTM-TIA is larger than 200 kHz. The distinctive feature of the proposed CryoSTM-TIA is that its pre-amplifier is made of a single cryogenic high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), so the apparatus equivalent input noise current power spectral density at 100 kHz is lower than 6 (fA)2/Hz. In addition, bias-cooling method can be used to in-situ control the density of the frozen DX- centers in the HEMT doping area, changing its structure to reduce the device noises. With this apparatus, fast scanning tunneling spectra measurements with high-energy-resolution are capable to be performed. And, it is capable to measure scanning tunneling shot noise spectra (STSNS) at the atomic scale for various quantum systems, even if the shot noise is very low. It provides a powerful tool to investigate novel quantum states by measuring STSNS, such as detecting the existence of Majorana bound states in the topological quantum systems.

Abstract: True random number generator (TRNG) is an important component for modern information security technologies. Among the candidates, TRNG with spin-orbit torque (SOT)-induced probabilistic magnetization switching is competitive for its advantages in anti-radiation, unlimited endurance, robust stability, and broad temperature range. However, realization of a SOT-TRNG requires intensive understanding of the magnetic dynamic process under a spin-orbit current. Here, we performed micromagnetic simulation of the SOT-induced probabilistic magnetization switching by using Mumax 3. Without thermal noise, identical magnetic moment precessions were found between repeated simulation cycles, resulting in deterministic magnetization switching. When thermal noises were taken into account, stochastic precession trails and thereby probabilistic magnetization switching were finally obtained. Our results suggest the Mumax 3 to be a practical tool for simulating the probabilistic magnetization switching behavior of a SOT-TRNG, as well as highlighting the crucial role of thermal noise during the during the simulation.
