Infrared Transmissometer to Measure the Thickness of NbN Thin Films
Kristen A. Sunter, Andrew E. Dane, Christopher I. Lang +1
We present an optical setup that can be used to characterize the thicknesses of thin NbN films to screen samples for fabrication and to better model the performance of the resultin…
