Abstract

Radio-frequency (rf) scanning tunneling microscopy has recently been advanced to methods such as single-atom spin resonance. Such methods benefit from a frequency-independent rf voltage amplitude across the tunnel junction, which is challenging to achieve due to the strong frequency dependence of the rf attenuation in a transmission line. Two calibration methods for the rf amplitude have been reported to date. In this Note, we present an alternative method to achieve a frequency-independent rf voltage amplitude across the tunnel junction and show the results of this calibration. The presented procedure is applicable to devices that can deliver rf voltage to a tunnel junction.
