Abstrakt: We present a setup for fast, low-bias (≤ 1 mV) DC transport measurements with μs time resolution for high ohmic resistance (≈ 20 k Ω) semiconducting samples. We discuss the circuitry and instrumentation for the measurement approach that can be applied to any kind of semiconductor device or (gated) two-dimensional material and demonstrate the main measurement artifacts in typical measurements by means of circuit simulation. Based on the latter, we present a simple two-step protocol for eliminating the measurement artifacts reliably. We demonstrate the technique by measuring the transitions between quantum Hall plateaus in the HgTe quantum wells and resolve plateaus as short-lived as 100 μs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
