Thermoelectric single-photon detection through superconducting tunnel junctions
Federico Paolucci, Gaia Germanese, Alessandro Braggio +1
Bipolar thermoelectricity in tunnel junctions between superconductors of different energy gap has been recently predicted and experimentally demonstrated. This effect showed thermo…
A highly-sensitive broadband superconducting thermoelectric single-photon detector
Federico Paolucci, Gaia Germanese, Alessandro Braggio +1
We propose a passive single-photon detector based on the bipolar thermoelectric effect occurring in tunnel junctions between two different superconductors thanks to spontaneous ele…
Bipolar Thermoelectric Josephson Engine
Gaia Germanese, Federico Paolucci, Giampiero Marchegiani +2
Thermoelectric effects in metals are typically small due to the nearly-perfect particle-hole (PH) symmetry around their Fermi surface [1, 2]. Despite being initially considered par…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking-induced thermospin effect in superconducting tunnel junctions
Gaia Germanese, Federico Paolucci, Giampiero Marchegiani +2
We discuss the charge and the spin tunneling currents between two Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors, where one density of states is spin-split. In the presence of a l…
Fully superconducting Josephson bolometers for gigahertz astronomy
Federico Paolucci, Nadia Ligato, Gaia Germanese +2
The origin and the evolution of the universe are concealed in the evanescent diffuse extragalactic background radiation (DEBRA). To reveal these signals, the development of innovat…
Development of highly sensitive nanoscale transition edge sensors for gigahertz astronomy and dark matter search
Federico Paolucci, Vittorio Buccheri, Gaia Germanese +9
Terahertz and sub-terahertz band detection has a key role both in fundamental interactions physics and technological applications, such as medical imaging, industrial quality contr…
