Title Electromechanical noise in a diffusive conductor Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 88 Issue 22 Pages
Keywords (up)
Abstract Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. The root-mean-squared momentum transfer per scattering event in a disordered metal (of dimension L greater than the mean free path l and screening length xi) is found to be reduced below the Fermi momentum by a factor of order l/L for shear fluctuations and (xi/L)^2 for pressure fluctuations. The excitation of an elastic bending mode by the shear fluctuations is estimated to fall within current experimental sensitivity for a nanomechanical oscillator.

Title Vortex-induced dissipation in narrow current-biased thin-film superconducting strips Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B
Volume 83 Issue 14 Pages 9
Keywords (up)
Abstract A vortex crossing a thin-film superconducting strip from one edge to the other, perpendicular to the bias current, is the dominant mechanism of dissipation for films of thickness d on the order of the coherence length ξ and of width w much narrower than the Pearl length Λâ‰<ab>wâ‰<ab>ξ. At high bias currents I*<I<Ic the heat released by the crossing of a single vortex suffices to create a belt-like normal-state region across the strip, resulting in a detectable voltage pulse. Here Ic is the critical current at which the energy barrier vanishes for a single vortex crossing. The belt forms along the vortex path and causes a transition of the entire strip into the normal state. We estimate I* to be roughly Ic/3. Furthermore, we argue that such “hot” vortex crossings are the origin of dark counts in photon detectors, which operate in the regime of metastable superconductivity at currents between I* and Ic. We estimate the rate of vortex crossings and compare it with recent experimental data for dark counts. For currents below I*, that is, in the stable superconducting but resistive regime, we estimate the amplitude and duration of voltage pulses induced by a single vortex crossing.

Title Odd- and even-order dispersion cancellation in quantum interferometry Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 102 Issue 10 Pages 4
Keywords (up)
Abstract We describe a novel effect involving odd-order dispersion cancellation. We demonstrate that odd- and even-order dispersion cancellation may be obtained in different regions of a single quantum interferogram using frequency-anticorrelated entangled photons and a new type of quantum interferometer. This offers new opportunities for quantum communication and metrology in dispersive media.

Title Generalized diffusion equation for superconducting alloys Type Journal Article
Year 1970 Publication Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 25 Issue 8 Pages 507
Keywords (up)
Abstract Eilenberger's transportlike equations for a superconductor of type II can be simplified very much in the dirty limit. In this limit a diffusionlike equation is derived which is the generalization of the de Gennes-Maki theory for dirty superconductors to arbitrary values of the order parameter.
