We present an innovative technique which allows the simultaneous measurement of the dielectric constant of a material at many frequencies, spanning a four orders of magnitude range chosen between 10 --2 Hz and 10 4 Hz. The sensitivity and accuracy are comparable to those obtained using standard single frequency techniques. The technique is based on three new and simple features: a) the precise real time correction of the amplication of a current amplier; b) the specic shape of the excitation signal and its frequency spectrum; and c) the precise synchronization between the generation of the excitation signal and the acquisition of the dielectric response signal. This technique is useful in the case of relatively fast dynamical measurements when the knowledge of the time evolution of the dielectric constant is needed.

Radio-frequency reflectometry of nanodevices requires careful separation of signal quadratures to distinguish dissipative and dispersive contributions to the device impedance. A tunable phase shifter for this purpose is described and characterized. T
he phase shifter, consisting of a varactor-loaded transmission line, has the necessary tuning range combined with acceptable insertion loss across a frequency band 100 MHz - 1 GHz spanning most radio-frequency experiments. Its operation is demonstrated by demodulating separately the signals due to resistance and capacitance changes in a model device.
We have developed a system for contactless measurement of nonlinear conductivity in the radio-frequency band, and over a wide temperature range. A non-resonant circuit is used to electrically excite the sample, and the induced signal is detected by a
resonant circuit whose natural frequency matches higher harmonics of the excitation. A simple modification of the probe allows non-resonant detection suitable for stronger signals. Two measurement procedures are proposed that allow significant excitation power variation, up to 150 W. The apparatus has been validated trough the measurement of the nonlinear response at the superconducting transition of a high-Tc superconductor, and the nematic transition of an iron pnictide.
In 2006, a final result of a measurement of the gravitational constant $G$ performed by researchers at the University of Zurich was published. A value of $G=6.674,252(122)times 10^{-11},mbox{m}^3,mbox{kg}^{-1},mbox{s}^{-2}$ was obtained after an expe
rimental effort that lasted over one decade. Here, we briefly summarize the measurement and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
Lab::Measurement is a framework for test and measurement automatization using Perl 5. While primarily developed with applications in mesoscopic physics in mind, it is widely adaptable. Internally, a layer model is implemented. Communication protocols
such as IEEE 488, USB Test & Measurement, or, e.g., VXI-11 are addressed by the connection layer. The wide range of supported connection backends enables unique cross-platform portability. At the instrument layer, objects correspond to equipment connected to the measurement PC (e.g., voltage sources, magnet power supplies, multimeters, etc.). The high-level sweep layer automates the creation of measurement loops, with simultaneous plotting and data logging. An extensive unit testing framework is used to verify functionality even without connected equipment. Lab::Measurement is distributed as free and open source software.
This paper presents the design and fabrication of batch-processed cantilever probes with electrical shielding for scanning microwave impedance microscopy. The diameter of the tip apex, which defines the electrical resolution, is less than 50 nm. The
width of the stripline and the thicknesses of the insulation dielectrics are optimized for a small series resistance (< 5 W) and a small background capacitance (~ 1 pF), both critical for high sensitivity imaging on various samples. The coaxial shielding ensures that only the probe tip interacts with the sample. The structure of the cantilever is designed to be symmetric to balance the stresses and thermal expansions of different layers so that the cantilever remains straight under variable temperatures. Such shielded cantilever probes produced in the wafer scale will facilitate enormous applications on nanoscale dielectric and conductivity imaging.
