Abstract |
Heterodyne receivers for applications in astronomy need quantum limited sensitivity. We have investigated phonon- cooled NbN hot electron bolometric mixers in the frequency range from 0.7 THz to 5.2 THz. The devices were 3.5 nm thin films with an in-plane dimension of 1.7 X 0.2 micrometers 2 integrated in a complementary logarithmic spiral antenna. The best measured DSB receiver noise temperatures are 1300 K (0.7 THz), 2000 K (1.4 THz), 2100 K (1.6 THz), 2600 K (2.5 THz), 4000 K (3.1 THz), 5600 K (4.3 THz), and 8800 K (5.2 THz). The sensitivity fluctuation, the long term stability, and the antenna pattern were measured. The results demonstrate that this mixer is very well suited for GREAT, the German heterodyne receiver for SOFIA. |

Abstract |
The Institute of Space Sensor Technology of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is developing a heterodyne array receiver for the frequency range 2 to 6 THz for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). Key science issues in that frequency range are the observation of lines of atoms [e.g. (OI)], ions [e.g. (CII), (NII)], and molecules (e.g. OH, HD, CO) with high spectral resolution to study the dynamics and evolution of galactic and extragalactic objects. Long term goal is the development of an integrated array heterodyne receiver with superconducting hot electron bolometric (HEB) mixers and p-type Ge or Si lasers as local oscillators. The first generation receiver will be composed of HEB mixers in a 2 pixel 2 polarization array which will be pumped by a gas laser local oscillator. Improved Schottky diode mixers are the backup solution for the HEBs. The state of the art of HEB mixer and p-type Ge laser technology are described as well as possible improvements in the ’conventional’ optically pumped far-infrared laser and Schottky diode mixer technology. Finally, the frequency coverage of the first generation heterodyne receiver for some important astronomical transitions is discussed. The expected sensitivity is compared to line fluxes measured by the ISO satellite. |

Abstract |
A new multifrequency quasioptical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer is described. The superheterodyne design with Schottky diode mixer/detectors enables fast detection with subnanosecond time resolution. Optical access makes it suitable for transient EPR (TR-EPR) at 120 and 240 GHz. These high frequencies allow for an accurate determination of small g-tensor anisotropies as are encountered in excited triplet states of organic molecules like porphyrins and fullerenes. The measured concentration sensitivity for continuous-wave (cw) EPR at 240 GHz and at room temperature without cavity is 1013 spins/cm3 (15 nM) for a 1 mT linewidth and a 1 Hz bandwidth. With a Fabry-Perot cavity and a sample volume of 30 nl, the sensitivity at 240 GHz corresponds to [approximate]3×109 spins for a 1 mT linewidth. The spectrometer's performance is illustrated with applications of transient EPR of excited triplet states of organic molecules, as well as cw EPR of nitroxide reference systems and a thin film of a colossal magnetoresistance material. |

Abstract |
A comprehensive investigation was made of the submillimeter photoconductivity of n -1nSb in the range of wavelengths L = 0.6-8 mm, magnetic fields H = 0-30 kOe, electric fields E = 0.01-0.5 V/cm, and temperatures T = 1.3-30 K. The kinetics of the photoconductivity processes as a function of T, E; and H is investigated. It is shown that impurity photoconductivity does exist for any degree of compensation of extremely purified n-InSb. Particular attention is paid to the hopping photoconductivity realized in strongly compensated n-1nSb (K > 0.8). |

NbN HEB mixers |
|
|
Abstract |
We present recent advances in the development of NbN hot-electron bolometric (HEB) mixers for flying terahertz heterodyne receivers. Three important issues have been addressed: the quality of the source NbN films, the effect of the bolometer size on the spectral properties of different planar feed antennas, and the local oscillator (LO) power required for optimal operation of the mixer. Studies of the NbN films with an atomic force microscope indicated a surface structure that may affect the performance of the smallest mixers. Measured spectral gain and noise temperature suggest that at frequencies above 2.5 THz the spiral feed provides better overall performance than the double-slot feed. Direct measurements of the optimal LO power support earlier estimates made in the framework of the uniform mixer model. |

Abstract |
The performance of NbN-based phonon-cooled hot electron bolometric (HEB) quasioptical mixers is investigated in the 0.7-3.1 THz frequency range. The devices are made from a 3.5-4 nm thick NbN film on high resistivity Si and integrated with a planar spiral antenna on the same substrate. The length of the bolometer microbridge is 0.1-0.2 µm; the width is 1-2 µm. The best results of the DSB receiver noise temperature measured at 1.5 GHz intermediate frequency are: 800 K at 0.7 THz, 1100 K at 1.6 THz, 2000 K at 2.5 THz and 4200 K at 3.1 THz. The measurements were performed with a far infrared laser as the local oscillator (LO) source. The estimated LO power requirement is less than 500 nW at the receiver input. First results on spiral antenna polarization measurements are reported. |

Abstract |
Проведено комплексное исследование n-InSb смесителя на λ=2.6 мм, включающее в себя исследование вольт-амперных характеристик при E=0−2 В/см, температурной зависимости проводимости в диапазоне T=1.6−20 K, высокочастотной проводимости при f=0.5−10 МГц и магнитосопротивления при H=0−5 кЭ. Показано, что в оптимальном режиме механизм преобразования частоты связан с фотоионизационными процессами при прыжковой фотопроводимости (ПФП). На основе модели ПФП рассчитан коэффициент преобразования смесителя и произведено сопоставление его с экспериментом. Показана несостоятельность модели преобразования частоты в компенсированном n-InSb (K≥0.8), основанной на разогреве электронов. Обсуждены требования к параметрам материала и режимам n-InSb смесителя миллиметрового диапазона волн. |

Abstract |
На примере p-Si⟨B,\,Ga⟩ с различной степенью компенсации проведена сравнительная оценка точности определения раздельной концентрации примесей по температурной зависимости концентрации дырок p(T) в случае одной и двух легирующих примесей с энергиями ионизации, различающимися менее чем в 2 раза. Исследована функция среднеквадратичного отклонения в пространстве параметров D(Nк, N2) (Nк, N1 и N2 — концентрации компенсирующих примесей бора и галлия соответственно, N2≫N1) в предположении, что N2, энергии B и Ga известны. Показано, что в случае двух легирующих примесей D(Nк, N1) в окрестностях минимума имеет «овражный» рельеф и при некоторых соотношениях между Nк и N1 разброс искомых величин превышает порядок, причем увеличение точности измерений p(T) существенного улучшения в вычислении параметров не дает. При одной легирующей примеси точность вычисления параметров высокая. |

Abstract |
Представлен обзор результатов цикла исследований природы электропроводности предельно очищенных образцов антимонида индия n-типа. Рассмотрены способы определения концентрации доноров и степени компенсации в этом материале, обсуждается роль свободных и локализованных на донорах электронов в электропроводности при гелиевых температурах. Обсуждение основано на анализе результатов исследования гальваномагнитных явлений, поглощения СВЧ излучения миллиметрового и субмиллиметрового диапазонов и ультразвука. Рассмотрены способы определения характеристик материала на основе комплекса результатов, полученных с помощью указанных методов. Обсуждается также фотопроводимость по примесям в n-InSb. |
