Superconducting Nanowire Fabrication on Niobium Nitride using Helium Ion Irradiation
Glenn D. Martinez, Drew Buckley, Ilya Charaev +3
Superconducting devices are prone to reduced performance caused by impurities and defects along the edges of their wires, which can lead to local current crowding. In this study, w…

Enhancement of optical response in nanowires by negative-tone PMMA lithography
Ilya Charaev, Andrew Dane, Akshay Agarwal +1
The method of negative-tone-PMMA electron-beam lithography is investigated to improve the performance of nanowire-based superconducting detectors. Using this approach, the supercon…
