Title Evanescent states and nonequilibrium in driven superconducting nanowires Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B
Volume 85 Issue Pages 224503(1-10)
Keywords (up) Al HEB, Al superconducting nanowire, global state, bimodal state, quasiclassical kinetic equations, Usadel equation
Abstract We study the nonlinear response of current transport in a superconducting diffusive nanowire between normal reservoirs. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the existence of two different superconducting states appearing when the wire is driven out of equilibrium by an applied bias, called the global and bimodal superconducting states. The different states are identified by using two-probe measurements of the wire, and measurements of the local density of states with tunneling probes. The analysis is performed within the framework of the quasiclassical kinetic equations for diffusive superconductors.

Title Практические особенности работы оптоволоконного квантового приемника Кеннеди Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proc. IWQO Abbreviated Journal Proc. IWQO
Volume Issue Pages 303-305
Keywords (up) Kennedy quantum receiver, fiber, quantum optics, standard quantum limit, superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, coherent detection
Abstract Мы рассматриваем практические особенности работы квантового приемника на основе схемы Кеннеди, собранного из стандартных оптоволоконных элементов и сверхпроводникового детектора одиночных фотонов. Приемник разработан для различения двух фазовомодулированных когерентных состояний света на длине волны 1,5 микрона в непрерывном режиме с частотой модуляции 200 КГц и уровнем ошибок различения примерно в два раза ниже стандартного квантового предела.

Title Hysteretic I–V curves of superconducting nanowires Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal
Volume 68 Issue Pages 134515(1 to 7)
Keywords (up) MoGe nanowires, self-heating effect
Abstract Experimental I–V curves of superconducting MoGe nanowires show hysteresis for the thicker wires and none for the thinner wires. A rather quantitative account of these data for representative wires is obtained by numerically solving the one-dimensional heat flow equation to find a self-consistent distribution of temperature and local resistivity along the wire, using the measured linear resistance R(T) as input. This suggests that the retrapping current in the hysteretic I–V curves is primarily determined by heating effects, and not by the dynamics of phase motion in a tilted washboard potential as often assumed. Heating effects and thermal fluctuations from the low-resistance state to a high-resistance, quasinormal regime appear to set independent upper bounds for the switching current.

Title Quasi-1-dimensional superconductivity in highly disordered NbN nanowires Type Miscellaneous
Year 2016 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords (up) narrow NbN nanowires, BCS
Abstract The topic of superconductivity in strongly disordered materials has attracted a significant attention. In particular vivid debates are related to the subject of intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity responsible for non-BCS relation between the superconducting gap and the pairing potential. Here we report experimental study of electron transport properties of narrow NbN nanowires with effective cross sections of the order of the debated inhomogeneity scales. We find that conventional models based on phase slip concept provide reasonable fits for the shape of the R(T) transition curve. Temperature dependence of the critical current follows the text-book Ginzburg-Landau prediction for quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel Ic~(1-T/Tc)^3/2. Hence, one may conclude that the intrinsic electronic inhomogeneity either does not exist in our structures, or, if exist, does not affect their resistive state properties.

Title Transition-edge sensors based on superconducting nanowires Type Abstract
Year 2006 Publication Proc. APS March Meeting Abbreviated Journal Proc. APS March Meeting
Volume Issue Pages B38.00001
Keywords (up) NbN nanowire TES
Abstract We present our experimental study of superconducting NbN nanowire-based sensor. The responsivity of the sensor is strongly affected by the superconducting transition width of the nanostructure, which, in turn, is determined by the phase slip centers (PCSs) dynamics. The fluctuations and noise properties of the sensor are also discussed, as well as the devices' behavior at high magnetic fields. The ultimate performance of the sensor and prospects of the devices will be discussed, as well.
