Bridging the gap between nanowires and Josephson junctions: a superconducting device based on controlled fluxon transfer across nanowires

Emily Toomey, Murat Onen, Marco Colangelo +3

The basis for superconducting electronics can broadly be divided between two technologies: the Josephson junction and the superconducting nanowire. While the Josephson junction (JJ…

Critical-Current Reduction in Thin Superconducting Wires Due to Current Crowding

H. L. Hortensius, E. F. C. Driessen, T. M. Klapwijk +2

We demonstrate experimentally that the critical current in superconducting NbTiN wires is dependent on their geometrical shape, due to current-crowding effects. Geometric patterns…

Afterpulsing and Instability in Superconducting Nanowire Avalanche Photodetectors

F. Marsili, F. Najafi, E. Dauler +2

We investigated the reset time of superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs) based on 30 nm wide nanowires. We studied the dependence of the reset time of SNAPs on t…
