Geometry Effects on Switching Currents in Superconducting Ultra Thin Films
A. Leo, N. Martucciello, A. Guarino +6
Vortex dynamics is strongly connected with the mechanisms responsible for the photon detection of superconducting devices. Indeed, the local suppression of superconductivity by pho…
First critical field measurements of superconducting films by third harmonic analysis
G. Lamura, M. Aurino, A. Andreone +1
The temperature behaviour of the first critical field () of superconducting thin film samples can be determined with high accuracy using an inductive and contactless method…
High-resolution spatial mapping of a superconducting NbN wire using single-electron detection
A. Lupascu, A. Emmert, M. Brune +5
Superconducting NbN wires have recently received attention as detectors for visible and infrared photons. We present experiments in which we use a NbN wire for high-efficiency (40…
Intrinsic nonlinearity probed by intermodulation distortion microwave measurements on high quality MgB2 thin films
G. Cifariello, M. Aurino, E. Di Gennaro +5
The two tone intermodulation distortion arising in MgB2 thin films synthesized by hybrid physical-chemical vapour deposition is studied in order to probe the influence of the two b…
Anomalous proximity effect in an inhomogeneous disordered superconductor
W. Escoffier, C. Chapelier, N. Hadacek +1
By combining very low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy on a TiN film we have observed a non uniform state comprising of superconducting (S) and normal (N)…
Granularity-induced gapless superconductivity in NbN films: evidence of thermal phase fluctuations
G. Lamura, J. C. Villegier, A. Gauzzi +5
Using a single coil mutual inductance technique, we measure the low temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth in superconducting NbN films prepared with similar crit…
