Fundamental limits of few-layer NbSe microbolometers at terahertz frequencies
K. Shein, E. Zharkova, M. A. Kashchenko +11
The rapid development of infrared spectroscopy, observational astronomy, and scanning near-field microscopy has been enabled by the emergence of sensitive mid- and far-infrared pho…
Single-photon detection using large-scale high-temperature MgB sensors at 20 K
I. Charaev, E. K. Batson, S. Cherednichenko +10
Ultra-fast single-photon detectors with high current density and operating temperature can benefit space and ground applications, including quantum optical communication systems, l…
Phonon heat capacity and disorder: new opportunities for performance enhancement of superconducting devices
M. Sidorova, A. D. Semenov, I. Charaev +4
We experimentally study for the first time the self-heating normal domain in magnetic field using nanowires made of granular NbTiN films with sub-10~nm thicknesses. Specifically, w…
Effective suppression of dark counts in superconducting microstructures with grid of pinholes in a magnetic field
Dong Zhu, Ilya Charaev, Andreas Schilling
In a magnetic field, vortices significantly contribute to the dark counts of single-photon detectors made of superconducting wires, and they are also limiting the critical current…
Large active-area superconducting microwire detector array with single-photon sensitivity in the near-infrared
Jamie S. Luskin, Ekkehart Schmidt, Boris Korzh +16
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the highest-performing technology for time-resolved single-photon counting from the UV to the near-infrared. The recen…
