Dark counts initiated by macroscopic quantum tunneling in NbN superconducting photon detectors
A. Murphy, A. Semenov, A. Korneev +3
We perform measurements of the switching current distributions of three w = 120 nm wide, 4 nm thick NbN superconducting strips which are used for single-photon detectors. These str…
A superconducting NbN detector for neutral nanoparticles
M. Marksteiner, A. Divochiy, M. Sclafani +6
We present a proof-of-principle study of superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD) for the detection of individual neutral molecules/nanoparticles at low energies. The new det…
Sensitivity of a superconducting nanowire detector for single ions at low energy
M. Sclafani, M. Marksteiner, F. McLennar Keir +5
We report on the characterization of a superconducting nanowire detector for ions at low kinetic energies. We measure the absolute single particle detection efficiency and trac…
