Title Superconducting microstructures with high impedance Type Journal Article
Year 2020 Publication (down) Phys. Solid State Abbreviated Journal Phys. Solid State
Volume 62 Issue 9 Pages 1539-1542
Keywords superconducting channels, SIS, inetic inductance, tunneling contacts, high impedance
Abstract The transport properties of two types of quasi-one-dimensional superconducting microstructures were investigated at ultra-low temperatures: the narrow channels close-packed in the shape of meander, and the chains of tunneling contacts “superconductor-insulator-superconductor.” Both types of the microstructures demonstrated high value of high-frequency impedance and-or the dynamic resistance. The study opens up potential for using of such structures as current stabilizing elements with zero dissipation.

Title Energy-gap dynamics of superconducting NbN thin films studied by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication (down) Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 107 Issue 17 Pages 4
Keywords NbN thin film, energy gap dynamics
Abstract Using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy we performed direct studies of the photoinduced suppression and recovery of the superconducting gap in a conventional BCS superconductor NbN. Both processes are found to be strongly temperature and excitation density dependent. The analysis of the data with the established phenomenological Rothwarf-Taylor model enabled us to determine the bare quasiparticle recombination rate, the Cooper pair-breaking rate and the electron-phonon coupling constant, λ=1.1±0.1, which is in excellent agreement with theoretical estimates.

Title Transient increase of the energy gap of superconducting NbN thin films excited by resonant narrow-band terahertz pulses Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication (down) Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 110 Issue 26 Pages 267003 (1 to 5)
Keywords NbN thin films, energy gap
Abstract Observations of radiation-enhanced superconductivity have thus far been limited to a few type-I superconductors (Al, Sn) excited at frequencies between the inelastic scattering rate and the superconducting gap frequency 2Delta/h. Utilizing intense, narrow-band, picosecond, terahertz pulses, tuned to just below and above 2Delta/h of a BCS superconductor NbN, we demonstrate that the superconducting gap can be transiently increased also in a type-II dirty-limit superconductor. The effect is particularly pronounced at higher temperatures and is attributed to radiation induced nonthermal electron distribution persisting on a 100 ps time scale.

Title Electron-phonon interaction in disordered conductors: Static and vibrating scattering potentials Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication (down) Phys. Rev. B. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B.
Volume 61 Issue 9 Pages 6041-6047
Keywords disordered conductors, scattering potential, electron-phonon interaction
Abstract Employing the Keldysh diagram technique, we calculate the electron-phonon energy relaxation rate in a conductor with the vibrating and static δ-correlated random electron-scattering potentials. If the scattering potential is completely dragged by phonons, this model yields the Schmid’s result for the inelastic electron-scattering rate τ−1e−ph. At low temperatures the effective interaction decreases due to disorder, and τ−1e−ph∝T4l (l is the electron mean-free path). In the presense of the static potential, quantum interference of numerous scattering processes drastically changes the effective electron-phonon interaction. In particular, at low temperatures the interaction increases, and τ−1e−ph∝T2/l. Along with an enhancement of the interaction, which is observed in disordered metallic films and semiconducting structures at low temperatures, the suggested model allows us to explain the strong sensitivity of the electron relaxation rate to the microscopic quality of a particular film.

Title Determination of the limiting mobility of a two-dimensional electron gas in AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs heterostructures and direct measurement of the energy relaxation time Type Journal Article
Year 1996 Publication (down) Phys. Rev. B Condens. Matter. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B Condens. Matter.
Volume 53 Issue 12 Pages R7592-R7595
Keywords 2DEG, AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures
Abstract We present results for a method to measure directly the energy relaxation time (τe) for electrons in a single AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterojunction; measurements were performed from 1.6 to 15 K under quasiequilibrium conditions. We find τeαT−1 below 4 K, and τe independent of T above 4 K. We have also measured the energy-loss rate, ⟨Q⟩, by the Shubnikov-de Haas technique, and find ⟨Q⟩α(T3e−T3) for T<~4.2 K; Te is the electron temperature. The values and temperature dependence of τe and ⟨Q⟩ for T<4 K agree with calculations based on piezoelectric and deformation potential acoustic phonon scattering. At 4.2 K, we can also estimate the momentum relaxation time, τm, from our measured τe. This leads to a preliminary estimate of the phonon-limited mobility at 4.2 K of μ=3×107 cm2/Vs (ns=4.2×1011 cm−2), which agrees well with published numerical calculations, as well as with an earlier indirect estimate based on measurements on a sample with much higher mobility.
