Superconducting detector arrays have become the standard technology for the current
generation of millimeter-wave and submm-wave astronomical instruments on individual …

We use sub-Kelvin scanning tunneling spectroscopy to investigate the suppression of
superconductivity in homogeneously disordered ultrathin MoC films. We observe that the …

We report on the design and performance of microwave kinetic inductance detectors
(MKIDs) sensitive to single photons in the optical to near-infrared range using hafnium as …

We evaluate the performance of hybrid microwave resonators made by combining sputtered
Nb thin films with Tungsten nanowires grown with a He-beam induced deposition technique …

Recent advances in the experimental growth and control of disordered thin films,
heterostructures, and interfaces provide fertile ground for the observation and …

The low-energy optical conductivity of conventional superconductors is usually well
described by Mattis-Bardeen (MB) theory, which predicts the onset of absorption above an …

This study investigates the influence of local defects introduced in highly oriented pyrolytic
graphite (HOPG) substrates on the electronic properties of two-dimensional transition-metal …

We demonstrate coherent dynamics of quantized magnetic fluxes in a superconducting loop
with a weak link, a nanobridge patterned from the same thin NbN film as the loop. The …

Recently, a generic model was proposed for the single-particle properties of gapless
superconductors with simultaneously present pair-conserving and pair-breaking impurity …

Isolated islands in two-dimensional strongly disordered and strongly coupled
superconductors become optically active, inducing subgap collective excitations in the ac …
