Distributed readout detectors using superconducting tunnel junctions
Superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) are able to measure the energy of single photons in the range from near infrared to X-rays. They provide simultaneous information of the impact time and wavelength of an absorbed photon. The main difficulty of these detectors compared with conventional imaging detectors lies in their limited pixel number. Each STJ has to be connected independently and the...
متن کاملElectronic coolers based on superconducting tunnel junctions: fundamentals and applications
Thermo-electric transport at the nano-scale is a rapidly developing topic, in particular in superconductor-based hybrid devices. In this review paper, we first discuss the fundamental principles of electronic cooling in mesoscopic superconducting hybrid structures, the related limitations and applications. We review recent work performed in Grenoble on the effects of Andreev reflection, photoni...
متن کاملBolometric response in graphene based superconducting tunnel junctions
We fabricate graphene-TiOx-Al tunnel junctions and characterize their radio frequency response. Below the superconducting critical temperature of Al and when biased within the superconducting gap, the devices show enhanced dynamic resistance which increases with decreasing temperature. Application of radio frequency radiation affects the dynamic resistance through electronic heating. The relati...
متن کاملNonequilibrium and relaxation effects in tunnel superconducting junctions
A specific property of a planar tunnel junction with thin-film diffusive plates and long enough leads, typical for most of practical situations, is essential enhancement of its transmission coefficient compared to the bare transparency of the tunnel barrier [1, 2]. In voltage-biased junctions, this creates favorable conditions for strong nonequilibrium of quasiparticles in the junction plates a...
متن کاملConstruction of a 345 Gigahertz Receiver Based on Superconducting Tunnel Junctions
This report describes the construction of a 345 Gigahertz receiver system based on superconducting tunnel junctions. The junctions used are Niobium edge junctions, which are mounted in a waveguide mixer mount. Highest sensitivity occurs at 312 GHz with a measured receiver noise temperature of 275 K double sideband. Theoretical calculations and experimental results both indicate the likelihood o...
