  Title Nonbolometric bottleneck in electron-phonon relaxation in ultrathin WSi films Type Journal Article
  Year 2018 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B  
  Volume 97 Issue 18 Pages (down) 184512 (1 to 13)  
  Keywords WSi films, diffusion constant, SSPD, SNSPD  
  Abstract We developed the model of the internal phonon bottleneck to describe the energy exchange between the acoustically soft ultrathin metal film and acoustically rigid substrate. Discriminating phonons in the film into two groups, escaping and nonescaping, we show that electrons and nonescaping phonons may form a unified subsystem, which is cooled down only due to interactions with escaping phonons, either due to direct phonon conversion or indirect sequential interaction with an electronic system. Using an amplitude-modulated absorption of the sub-THz radiation technique, we studied electron-phonon relaxation in ultrathin disordered films of tungsten silicide. We found an experimental proof of the internal phonon bottleneck. The experiment and simulation based on the proposed model agree well, resulting in τe−ph∼140–190 ps at TC=3.4K, supporting the results of earlier measurements by independent techniques.

  Title Electrodynamic response and local tunneling spectroscopy of strongly disordered superconducting TiN films Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 88 Issue 18 Pages (down) 180505 (1 to 5)  
  Keywords strongly disordered superconducting TiN films, microwave resonators  
  Abstract We have studied the electrodynamic response of strongly disordered superconducting TiN films using microwave resonators, where the disordered superconductor is the resonating element in a high-quality superconducting environment of NbTiN. We describe the response assuming an effective pair-breaking mechanism modifying the density of states and compare this to local tunneling spectra obtained using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. For the least disordered film (kFl=8.7, Rs=13Ω), we find good agreement, whereas for the most disordered film (kFl=0.82, Rs=4.3kΩ), there is a strong discrepancy, which signals the breakdown of a model based on uniform properties.

  Title Electron heating in metallic resistors at sub-Kelvin temperature Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B  
  Volume 76 Issue Pages (down) 165426(1-9)  
  Keywords electron heating in resistor, HEB distributed model, HEB model, hot electrons  
  Abstract In the presence of Joule heating, the electronic temperature in a metallic resistor placed at sub-Kelvin temperatures can significantly exceed the phonon temperature. Electron cooling proceeds mainly through two processes: electronic diffusion to and from the connecting wires and electron-phonon coupling. The goal of this paper is to present a general solution of the problem in a form that can easily be used in practical situations. As an application, we compute two quantities that depend on the electronic temperature profile: the second and the third cumulant of the current noise at zero frequency, as a function of the voltage across the resistor. We also consider time-dependent heating, an issue relevant for experiments in which current pulses are used, for instance, in time-resolved calorimetry experiments.

  Title Hysteretic I–V curves of superconducting nanowires Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 68 Issue Pages (down) 134515(1 to 7)  
  Keywords 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 Timing jitter in photon detection by straight superconducting nanowires: Effect of magnetic field and photon flux Type Journal Article
  Year 2018 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B  
  Volume 98 Issue 13 Pages (down) 134504 (1 to 14)  
  Keywords SNSPD, NbN namowires  
  Abstract We studied the effects of the external magnetic field and photon flux on timing jitter in photon detection by straight superconducting NbN nanowires. At two wavelengths 800 and 1560 nm, statistical distribution in the appearance times of photon counts exhibits Gaussian shape at small times and an exponential tail at large times. The characteristic exponential time is larger for photons with smaller energy and increases with external magnetic field while variations in the Gaussian part of the distribution are less pronounced. Increasing photon flux drives the nanowire from the discrete quantum detection regime to the uniform bolometric regime that averages out fluctuations of the total number of nonequilibrium electrons created by the photon and drastically reduces jitter. The difference between standard deviations of Gaussian parts of distributions for these two regimes provides the measure for the strength of electron-number fluctuations; it increases with the photon energy. We show that the two-dimensional hot-spot detection model explains qualitatively the effect of magnetic field.
