Temperature-dependence of detection efficiency in NbN and TaN SNSPD
Andreas Engel, Kevin Inderbitzin, Andreas Schilling +7
We present systematic measurements of the temperature-dependence of detection efficiencies in TaN and NbN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. We have observed a clear…
Soft X-Ray Single-Photon Detection With Superconducting Tantalum Nitride and Niobium Nanowires
Kevin Inderbitzin, Andreas Engel, Andreas Schilling
We have fabricated ultrafast dark count-free soft X-ray single-photon detectors (X-SNSPDs) from TaN with various conduction path widths, and we compare their properties with corres…
An ultra-fast superconducting Nb nanowire single-photon detector for soft X-rays
Kevin Inderbitzin, Andreas Engel, Andreas Schilling +2
Although superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are well studied regarding the detection of infrared/optical photons and keV-molecules, no studies on continuous…
Tantalum nitride superconducting single-photon detectors with low cut-off energy
Andreas Engel, Adrian Aeschbacher, Kevin Inderbitzin +6
Materials with a small superconducting energy gap are expected to favor a high detection efficiency of low-energy photons in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. We de…
