Title (up) Energy-gap dynamics of superconducting NbN thin films studied by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy Type Miscellaneous
Year 2011 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
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, \lambda = 1.1 +/- 0.1, which is in excellent agreement with theoretical estimates.

Title (up) Energy-loss rates for hot electrons and holes in GaAs quantum wells Type Journal Article
Year 1985 Publication Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume 54 Issue Pages 2045-2048
Keywords 2DEG, GaAs/AlGaAs, heat flow, electron-phonon, hole-phonon, carrier-phonon, interactions
Abstract We report the first direct determination of carrier-energy-loss rates in a semiconductor. These measurements provide fundamental insight into carrier-phonon interactions in semiconductors. Unexpectedly large differences are found in the energy-loss rates for electrons and holes in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. This large difference results from an anomalously low electron-energy-loss rate, which we attribute to the presence of nonequilibrium optical phonons rather than the effects of reduced dimensionality or dynamic screening.

Title (up) Energy-spectrum of shallow acceptors in Ge deformed strongly by a uniaxial pressure Type Journal Article
Year 1989 Publication Sov. Phys. and Technics of Semiconductors Abbreviated Journal Sov. Phys. and Technics of Semiconductors
Volume 23 Issue 8 Pages 843-846
Keywords Ge, crystallography
Abstract Проведены исследования спектров фототермической ионизации мелких акцепторов (В, Аl) в Ge, предельно сжатом вдоль кристаллографической оси [100]. Из данных измерений с учетом теории построен энергетический спектр примесей. Показано, что энергии большого числа уровней четных и нечетных состояний хорошо соответствуют расчету, выполненному для примесей в анизотропном полупроводнике с параметром анизотропии γ=m∗⊥/m∗∥>1.

Title (up) Engineering physics of superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixers Type Journal Article
Year 2017 Publication IEEE Trans. THz Sci. Technol. Abbreviated Journal IEEE Trans. THz Sci. Technol.
Volume 7 Issue 6 Pages 627-648
Keywords HEB mixers
Abstract Superconducting hot-electron bolometers are presently the best performing mixing devices for the frequency range beyond 1.2 THz, where good-quality superconductor-insulator-superconductor devices do not exist. Their physical appearance is very simple: an antenna consisting of a normal metal, sometimes a normal-metal-superconductor bilayer, connected to a thin film of a narrow short superconductor with a high resistivity in the normal state. The device is brought into an optimal operating regime by applying a dc current and a certain amount of local-oscillator power. Despite this technological simplicity, its operation has found to be controlled by many different aspects of superconductivity, all occurring simultaneously. A core ingredient is the understanding that there are two sources of resistance in a superconductor: a charge-conversion resistance occurring at a normal-metal-superconductor interface and a resistance due to time-dependent changes of the superconducting phase. The latter is responsible for the actual mixing process in a nonuniform superconducting environment set up by the bias conditions and the geometry. The present understanding indicates that further improvement needs to be found in the use of other materials with a faster energy relaxation rate. Meanwhile, several empirical parameters have become physically meaningful indicators of the devices, which will facilitate the technological developments.
