n-type electrical conduction in SnS thin films

Issei Suzuki, Sakiko Kawanishi, Sage R. Bauers +7

Tin monosulfide (SnS) usually exhibits p-type conduction due to the low formation enthalpy of acceptor-type defects, and as a result n-type SnS thin films have never been obtained.…

Ultimate low system dark count rate for superconducting nanowire single-photon detector

Hiroyuki Shibata, Kaoru Shimizu, Hiroki Takesue +1

The dark count rate (DCR) is a key parameter of single-photon detectors. By introducing a bulk optical band-pass filter mounted on a fiber-to-fiber optical bench cooled at 3 K and…

Quantum key distribution over a 72 dB channel loss using ultralow dark count superconducting single-photon detectors

Hiroyuki Shibata, Toshimori Honjo, Kaoru Shimizu

We report the first Quantum key distribution (QKD) experiment over a 72 dB channel loss using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SSPD, SNSPD) with the dark count rat…

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detector with ultralow dark count rate using cold optical filters

H. Shibata, K. Shimizu, H. Takesue +1

We report the fabrication of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SSPD or SNSPD) with an ultralow dark count rate. By introducing optical band-pass filters at the inp…

Charge transfer gap for T'-RE2CuO4 and T-La2CuO4 as estimated from Madelung potential calculations

A. Tsukada, H. Shibata, M. Noda +2

T'-RE2CuO4 (RE: rare-earth element), after appropriate "reduction", has fairly high conductivity and also exhibits clear Fermi edge in photoemission spectroscopy. To clarify the or…
