Coherent control of thermal transport with pillar-based phononic crystals

Tatu A. S. Korkiamäki, Tuomas A. Puurtinen, Mikko Kivekäs +4

Two-dimensional phononic crystals (PnCs) formed by a periodic array of holes in a suspended membrane have previously been used to coherently control thermal conductance at low temp…

Improvement of the Simmons model for tunnel junctions

Ilmo Räisänen, Ilari Maasilta

The Simmons model is a well-known and widely used model for the elastic tunneling current of a metallic tunnel junction, and fitting it to electrical measurements can be used to es…

Phonon-blocked junction calorimeter

Zhuoran Geng, Joel Hätinen, Emma Mykkänen +2

This study introduces the theory of a microcalorimeter based on phonon-blocked superconducting tunnel junctions, integrating on-chip electron cooling and boundary resistance phonon…

Controlling the electron-phonon heat exchange in a metallic film by its position in a dielectric slab

D. V. Anghel, M. Dolineanu, J. Bergli +1

We theoretically study the heat flux between electrons and phonons in a thin metallic film embedded in a suspended dielectric slab (called a \textit{membrane}, in accordance with t…

Heat transfer across a vacuum gap induced by piezoelectrically mediated acoustic phonon tunneling

Zhuoran Geng, Ilari J. Maasilta

In contradictin to the common concept that acoustic phonons can only travel inside a material medium, they can in fact "tunnel" across a vacuum gap with the help of piezoelectricit…

Highly tunable NbTiN Josephson junctions fabricated with focused helium ion beam

Aki Ruhtinas, Ilari J. Maasilta

We demonstrate a direct writing method for the fabrication of planar Josephson junctions from high quality superconducting niobium titanium nitride (NbTiN) thin films, by creating…
