SuperSpec is a novel on-chip spectrometer we are developing for multiobject, moderate resolution (R = 100–500), large bandwidth (∼1.65 :1), submillimeter and millimeter survey spectroscopy of high-redshift galaxies. The spectrometer employs a filter bank architecture, and consists of a series of half-wave resonators formed by lithographically-patterned superconducting transmission lines. The si...

carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°c. sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

We study a 1-D array of Josephson coupled superconducting grains with kinetic inductance which dominates over the Josephson inductance. In this limit the dynamics of excess Cooper pairs in the array is described in terms of charge solitons, created by polarization of the grains. We analyze the dynamics of these topological excitations, which are dual to the fluxons in a long Josephson junction,...

One of the fundamental problems in many-pixel detectors implemented in cryogenics environments is the number of bias and read-out wires. If one targets a megapixel range detector, number of wires should be significantly reduced. One possibility is that the detectors are serially connected and biased by using only one line and read-out is accomplished by on-chip circuitry. In addition to the num...

We introduce BULLKID, a phonon detector consisting of an array dices acting as particle absorbers sensed by multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). The are carved in thick crystalline wafer and form monolithic structure. carvings leave thin common disk intact the wafer, both holder for substrate KID lithography. prototype presented consists 64 5.4 × 5 mm3 3˝ diameter, mm silicon with 0...

We discuss the applied magnetic field dependence of the absorption of microwaves by a 3-dimensional array up to 30x30x30 Josephson junctions with random parameters including the resistivity, capacity and inductance of each junction. The numerical simulation results for the networks show characteristic microwave absorption anomalies observed in the ceramic samples of high temperature superconduc...
