(color online) (a) Voltage noise spectrum for different current bias of the Al/AlOx/Al tunneling junction at 4.6 K, which is measured by our room temperature pre-amplifier. Current bias varies from 0 μA to 1 μA in 0.05-μA steps. Inset: Zoom-in of the voltage noise spectrum in the frequency bin we pick with linear axis, 1.0 kHz to 1.5 kHz (black rectangle). (b) The bias dependence of the voltage noise power of the Al/AlOx/Al tunneling junction at 4.6 K measured by our room temperature pre-amplifier.
