AlN-buffered superconducting NbN nanowire single-photon detector on GaAs
E. Schmidt, K. Ilin, M. Siegel
We investigated the suitability of AlN as a buffer layer for NbN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) on GaAs. The NbN films with a thickness of 3.3 nm to 20 n…

Current dependence of the hot-spot response spectrum of superconducting single-photon detectors with different layouts
I. Charaev, A. Semenov, S. Doerner +3
We show that avoiding bends in a current-carrying superconducting nanowire enhances the probability for low energy photons to be detected and that this enhancement is entirely due…

Characteristics of superconducting tungsten silicide WxSi1-x for single photon detection
X. Zhang, A. Engel, Q. Wang +7
Superconducting properties of three series of amorphous WxSi1-x films with different thickness and stoichiometry were investigated by dc transport measurements in a magnetic field…
