Two-dimensional nanoscale imaging of gadolinium spins via scanning probe relaxometry with a single spin in diamond

Matthew Pelliccione, Bryan A. Myers, Laetitia Pascal +2

Spin-labeling of molecules with paramagnetic ions is an important approach for determining molecular structure, however current ensemble techniques lack the sensitivity to detect f…

Existence of an Independent Phonon Bath in a Quantum Device

Laetitia Pascal, Aurelien Fay, Clemens Winkelmann +1

At low temperatures, the thermal wavelength of acoustic phonons in a metallic thin film on a substrate can widely exceed the film thickness. It is thus generally believed that a me…

High quality factor single-crystal diamond mechanical resonators

P. Ovartchaiyapong, L. M. A. Pascal, B. A. Myers +2

Single-crystal diamond is a promising material for MEMs devices because of its low mechanical loss, compatibility with extreme environments, and built-in interface to high-quality…

Etching suspended superconducting hybrid junctions from a multilayer

Hung Q. Nguyen, Laetitia Pascal, Z. H. Peng +4

A novel method to fabricate large-area superconducting hybrid tunnel junctions with a suspended central normal metal part is presented. The samples are fabricated by combining phot…

Efficient Quasiparticle Evacuation in Superconducting Devices

Sukumar Rajauria, L. M. A. Pascal, Ph. Gandit +3

We have studied the diffusion of excess quasiparticles in a current-biased superconductor strip in proximity to a metallic trap junction. In particular, we have measured accurately…

Hysteresis in superconducting short weak links and -SQUIDs

Dibyendu Hazra, Lætitia Pascal, Hervé Courtois +1

Thermal hysteresis in a micron-size Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (-SQUID), with weak links as Josephson junctions, is an obstacle for improving its performance fo…
