We demonstrate experimentally that single-photon detection can be achieved in micrometer-
wide NbN bridges, with widths ranging from 0.53 to 5.15 μ m and for photon wavelengths of …

Thermoelectric effects refer to the voltage generation from temperature gradients in
condensed matter. Although various power generators are made from them, all the known …

Normally, in superconductors, as in conductors, in a state with zero current I the momentum
of superconducting electrons ℏ q= 0. Here we demonstrate theoretically and present …

The photon count rate (PCR) of superconducting single-photon detectors made of Mo x Si 1-
x films shaped as a 2-μ m-wide strip and a 115-nm-wide meander strip line is studied …

Ultrafast vortex motion has recently become a subject of extensive investigations, triggered
by the fundamental question regarding the ultimate speed limits for magnetic flux quanta …

We have investigated the zero-field critical supercurrent of YBa2Cu3O7-δ bridges patterned
from 50 nm thick films as a function of bridge width, ranging from 2 μm to 50 nm. The critical …

A rectenna, standing for a rectifying antenna, is an apparatus which generates dc electricity
from electric fluctuations. It is expected to realize wireless power transmission as well as …

This study investigates the influence of normal metal thickness on the Larkin-Ovchinnikov
(LO) instability in superconductor/normal metal heterostructures. Bilayers were fabricated …
