Local thermal fluctuations in current-carrying superconducting nanowires
Alexej D. Semenov, Mariia Sidorova, Mikhail A. Skvortsov +3
We analyze the effect of different types of fluctuations in internal electron energy on the rates of dark and photon counts in straight current-carrying superconducting nanowires.…
Nanowire single-photon detectors made of atomic layer-deposited niobium nitride
Emanuel Knehr, Artem Kuzmin, Mario Ziegler +5
We demonstrate and characterize first superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) made from atomic layer-deposited (ALD) NbN layers. To assess the suitability of thes…
Comparison of SNSPDs biased with microwave and direct currents
Steffen Doerner, Artem Kuzmin, Stefan Wuensch +1
This paper presents a detailed investigation of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) biased with microwave and direct currents. We developed a hybrid detector,…
