Two types of microwave filters, metallic powder filters and a filter using a resistive coaxial cable, were tested. Attenuation of the metallic powder filters using copper or stainless steel (SUS304L) was measured at 300 K, 77 K, and 4.2 K, and it was found that SUS304L powder of nominal 30 m grain size gives best result as the microwave filter for single electron tunneling (SET) experiments. Attenuation of a coaxial filter, or Thermocoax with SMA connectors attached at both ends is larger at low temperatures than that at room temperatures, and the temperature dependence of the attenuation does not agree with Zorin's model. The filter arrangement in our cryostat designed for SET experiments, is also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
