Temperature-dependence of detection efficiency in NbN and TaN SNSPD
Andreas Engel, Kevin Inderbitzin, Andreas Schilling +7
We present systematic measurements of the temperature-dependence of detection efficiencies in TaN and NbN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. We have observed a clear…

Current Assisted, Thermally Activated Flux Liberation in Ultrathin Nanopatterned NbN Superconducting Meander Structures
H. Bartolf, A. Engel, A. Schilling +4
We present results from an extensive study of fluctuation phenomena in superconducting nanowires made from sputtered NbN. Nanoscale wires were fabricated in form of a meander and o…
