Title Transmission measurements of infrared filters for low-noise terahertz receiver applications Type Conference Article
Year (down) 2005 Publication Proc. 16th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 16th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.

Abstract Infrared (IR) filters are very important to the efficient operation of cryogenic receivers. Usually, such filters are mounted on the radiation shield of the cryostat to reduce the heat load to the 4 K stage. Insufficient filtering may cause the temperature of the mixing element in a receiver to be excessively warm, leading to degradation in sensitivity. These filters should be effective in blocking the room temperature IR radiation from outside the cryostat, yet should be transparent across the desired signal frequency band. In the Terahertz frequency range, which is close to the infrared, it is difficult to find an inexpensive low- loss material that can provide the required IR blocking capacity. We present transmission measurements, made using a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS), of a number of potential infrared filters between 0.4 and 1.6 THz. The filters tested include the widely-used, Teflon-based, Zitex-A and Zitex-G films, alkali halide based infrared filter, and crystalline quartz coated with Parylene, and polyethylene films.

Title Vector measurement of the beam pattern of a 1.5 THz superconducting HEB receiver Type Conference Article
Year (down) 2005 Publication Proc. 16th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 16th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.

Keywords NbTiN HEB mixers
Abstract Near-field vector beam pattern of the 1.5 THz superconducting Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) receiver currently in operation in Northern Chile has been performed in our laboratory. Using an open waveguide probe, we have mapped both the amplitude and phase of the beam emerging from our 1.5 THz HEB receiver package, across a number of planes along the line of propagation of the radio-beam. With an integration time of about 100 ms per point, a signal-to-noise ratio of about 25 dB was achieved for a beam waist of 3.5 mm. These measurements have proved to be invaluable in achieving good alignment between the cryostat housing the HEB mixer and the remainder of the receiver and telescope optics. The accuracy of our beam measurement is estimated to be ±0.2 mm in position and ±5 arc minutes in angular displacement.

Title Near field vector beam measurements at 1 THz Type Journal Article

Abstract We have performed near-field vector beam measurements at 1.03 THz to characterize and align the receiver optics of a superconducting receiver. The signal source is a harmonic generator mounted on an X-Y translation stage. We model the measured two-dimensional complex beam pattern by a fundamental Gaussian mode, from which we derive the position of the beam center, the beam radius and the direction of propagation. By performing scans in the planes separated by 400 mm, we have confirmed that our beam pattern measurements are highly reliable.

Title Magnetic field effects on the nonohmic impurity conduction of uncompensated crystalline silicon Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2001 Publication Jetp Lett. Abbreviated Journal Jetp Lett.
Volume 73 Issue 1 Pages 44-47
Keywords uncompensated crystalline silicon, nonohmic impurity conduction, magnetic field
Abstract The impurity conduction of a series of crystalline silicon samples with the concentration of major impurity N ≈ 3 × 1016 cm−3 and with a varied, but very small, compensation K was measured as a function of the electric field E in various magnetic fields H-σ(H, E). It was found that, at K < 10−3 and in moderate E, where these samples are characterized by a negative nonohmicity (dσ(0, E)/dE < 0), the ratio σ(H, E)/σ(0, E) > 1 (negative magnetoresistance). With increasing E, these inequalities are simultaneously reversed (positive nonohmicity and positive magnetoresistance). It is suggested that both negative and positive nonohmicities are due to electron transitions in electric fields from impurity ground states to states in the Mott-Hubbard gap.

Title Electron-phonon interaction in disordered conductors: Static and vibrating scattering potentials Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2000 Publication 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 Quasioptical high-Tc superconductor Josephson mixer at terahertz frequencies Type Abstract
Year (down) 2000 Publication Proc. 11th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 11th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.
Volume Issue Pages 515
Keywords HTS Josephson mixers
Abstract Mixers based on Josephson junctions from conventional superconductor materials have demonstrated excellent performance at subgap frequencies. The advantages of Josephson mixers are low optimal power of the local oscillator and large intermediate frequency bandwidth but their noise temperature increases dramatically at frequencies corresponding to the energy gap of the superconductor, which is typically below 1 THz for widely used materials. The large energy gap of oxide superconductors makes them promising candidates for development of terahertz Josephson mixers. Here we report on experimental study of the quasioptical mixer utilizing bicrystal Josephson junction from high-transition-temperature YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ film. Junctions with a width of 2 µm were fabricated from 100 nm thick laser ablated films on bicrystal MgO substrates and had the and the J C R n product of about 2 mV at 4.2 K. The planar complementary logarithmic spiral antenna incorporated into co-planar waveguide was patterned from 200 nm thick gold film thermally evaporated in situ on top of the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ film. The mixer chip was clamped to the extended hemispherical silicon lens. Performance of the mixer was investigated at 4.5 K bath temperature. We used FIR laser as a local oscillator at frequencies 0.698 and 2.52 THz. System noise temperature (DSB) was determined from Y-factor measured with 300 K and 77 K loads. At 0.698 THz the lowest noise temperature 1750 K was observed when the mixer was biased with the fixed current to the region in the vicinity of either the first Shapiro step or the critical current. Between these two bias points the noise temperature increased to ≈ 20000 K. As function of the local oscillator power the noise temperature reached the minimum when the critical current was suppressed to the half of its equilibrium value. Power of the local oscillator absorbed by the mixer at optimal operation was of the order 100 nW. The present design of our antenna limits the upper operation frequency to the value of 1.8 THz. Nevertheless, we clearly observed Shapiro steps at the frequency 2.52 THz. Bearing in mind an improved design of the antenna, we estimate the 3000 K DSB noise temperature at this frequency.

Volume 263-264 Issue Pages 190-192
Keywords disordered conductors, electron-phonon interaction
Abstract The electron–phonon interaction is strongly modified in conductors with a small value of the electron mean free path (impure metals, thin films). As a result, the temperature dependencies of both the inelastic electron scattering rate and resistivity differ significantly from those for pure bulk materials. Recent complex measurements have shown that modified dependencies are well described at K by the electron interaction with transverse phonons. At helium temperatures, available data are conflicting, and cannot be described by an universal model.
