Dark counts initiated by macroscopic quantum tunneling in NbN superconducting photon detectors
A. Murphy, A. Semenov, A. Korneev +3
We perform measurements of the switching current distributions of three w = 120 nm wide, 4 nm thick NbN superconducting strips which are used for single-photon detectors. These str…
Formation of Quantum Phase Slip Pairs in Superconducting Nanowires
Andrey Belkin, Maxim Belkin, Victor Vakaryuk +2
Macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) is a fundamental phenomenon of quantum mechanics related to the actively debated topic of quantum-to-classical transition. The ability to realiz…
Measuring the superconducting coherence length in thin films using a two-coil experiment
John Draskovic, Thomas R. Lemberger, Brian Peters +4
We present measurements of the superconducting coherence length ξ in thin (d < 100 Å) films of MoGe alloy and Nb using a combination of linear and nonlinear mutual inductance techn…
Multiple-Retrapping Process in High- Intrinsic Josephson Junctions
Myung-Ho Bae, M. Sahu, Hu-Jong Lee +1
We report measurements of switching-current distribution (SWCD) from a phase-diffusion branch to a quasiparticle-tunneling branch as a function of temperature in a cuprate-based in…
