Electrodynamics of the Superconducting State in Ultra-Thin Films at THz Frequencies

Uwe S. Pracht, Eric Heintze, Conrad Clauss +11

We report on terahertz frequency-domain spectroscopy (THz-FDS) experiments in which we measure charge carrier dynamics and excitations of thin-film superconducting systems at low t…

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…

Magnetic-field dependence of count rates in superconducting thin-film TaN single-photon detectors

A. Engel, A. Schilling, K. Il'in +1

We have studied the magnetic-field dependence of both dark-count rates and photon-count rates in a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector made of TaN in external magnetic…

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…

Symbiotic Optimization of the Nanolithography and RF-Plasma Etching for Fabricating High-Quality Light-Sensitive Superconductors on the 50 nm Scale

H. Bartolf, K. Inderbitzin, L. B. Gómez +6

We present results of a fabrication-process development for the lithographic pattern transfer into the sub-100nm range by combining electron-beam lithography and reactive dry etchi…
