The influence of pinholes and weak-points in aluminium-oxide Josephson junctions
K. Bayros, M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith +1
Josephson junctions are the key components used in superconducting qubits for quantum computing. The advancement of quantum computing is limited by a lack of stability and reproduc…
Microscopic quantum point contact formation as the electromigration mechanism in granular superconductor nanowires
T. C. Bartolo, J. S. Smith, Yannick Schön +5
Granular aluminium is a high kinetic inductance thin film superconductor which, when formed into nanowires can undergo an intrinsic electromigration process. We use a combination o…
Simulating the fabrication of aluminium oxide tunnel junctions
M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith, N. Vogt +3
Aluminium oxide (AlO) tunnel junctions are important components in a range of nanoelectric devices including superconducting qubits where they can be used as Josephson…
Does the boson peak survive in an ultrathin oxide glass?
D. L. Cortie, M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith +7
Bulk glasses exhibit extra vibrational modes at low energies, known as the boson peak. The microscopic dynamics in nanoscale alumina impact the performance of qubits and other supe…
The effect of atomic structure on the electrical response of aluminium oxide tunnel junctions
M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith, J. A. Vaitkus +3
Many nanoelectronic devices rely on thin dielectric barriers through which electrons tunnel. For instance, aluminium oxide barriers are used as Josephson junctions in superconducti…
