Temperature-stabilized differential amplifier for low-noise DC measurements.

A tabletop low-noise differential amplifier with a bandwidth of 100 kHz is presented. Low voltage drifts of the order of 100 nV/day are reached by thermally stabilizing relevant amplifier components. The input leakage current is below 100 fA. Input-stage errors are reduced by extensive circuitry. Voltage noise, current noise, input capacitance, and input current are extraordinarily low. The input resistance is larger than 1 TΩ. The amplifiers were tested with and deployed for electrical transport measurements of quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures.
