By implementing dedicated cryogenic circuitry operating in the MHz regime, we have developed a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of conventional, low frequency (<10 kHz), microscopy as well spectroscopy and shot-noise detection at 1 MHz. After calibrating our AC circuit on a gold surface, we illustrate our capability to detect shot-noise at the atomic scale and at low currents (<1 nA) by simultaneously measuring the atomically resolved differential conductance and shot-noise on the high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x . We further show our direct sensitivity to the temperature of the tunneling electrons at low voltages. Our MHz circuitry opens up the possibility to study charge and correlation effects at the atomic scale in all materials accessible to STM. (C) 2018 Author(s).
