Title Nonequilibrium kinetic inductive response of YBCO thin films to low power laser pulses Type Journal Article
Year 1995 Publication IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. Abbreviated Journal IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond.
Volume 5 Issue 2 Pages 2591-2594
Keywords YBCO HTS KID
Abstract (up) We have discovered a transient nonequilibrium kinetic inductive voltage response of YBCO thin films to 20 ps pulses of YAG:Nd laser radiation with 0.63 /spl mu/m and 1.54 /spl mu/m wavelength. By increasing the sensitivity of the read-out system with 100 ps resolution time and diminishing the light intensity (fluence 0.1-2 /spl mu/J/cm/sup 2/) and transport current (density /spl les/10/sup 5/ A/cm/sup 2/) we were able to observe a peculiar bipolar signal form with nearly equal amplitudes for each sign. The integration of the kinetic inductive response over time gives the result which is qualitatively, of the same form as the response in the resistive and normal states: the nonequilibrium picosecond scale component is followed by the bolometric nanosecond component. The nonequilibrium response is interpreted as suppression of the order parameter by excess quasiparticles followed by a change both in resistance (for the resistive state) and in kinetic inductance (for the superconducting state).

Title Hot electron detection and mixing experiments in NbN at 119 micrometer wavelength Type Conference Article
Year 1995 Publication Proc. 6th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 6th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.
Volume Issue Pages 284-293
Keywords NbN HEB mixers, detectors
Abstract (up) We have performed preliminary experiments with the goal of demonstrating a Hot Electron Bolometric (HEB) mixer for a 119 micrometer wavelength (2.5 THz). We have chosen a NbN device of size 700 x 350 micrometers. This device can easily be coupled to a laser LO source, which is advantageous for performing a prototype experiment. The relatively large size of the device means that the LO power required is in the mW range; this power can be easily obtained from a THz laser source. We have measured the amount of laser power actually absorbed in the device, and from this have estimated the best optical coupling loss to be about 10 di . We are developing methods for improving the optical coupling further. Preliminary measurements of the response of the device to a chopped black-body have not yet resulted in a measured receiver noise temperature. We expect to be able to complete this measurement in the near future.

Title NbN hot-electron mixer measurements at 200 GHz Type Conference Article
Year 1995 Publication Proc. 6th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 6th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.
Volume Issue Pages 254-261
Keywords NbN HEB mixers
Abstract (up) We present noise and gain measurements of resistively driven NbN hot-electron mixers near 200 GHz. The device geometry is chosen so that the dominant cooling process of the hot-electrons is their interaction with the lattice. Except for a single batch, the intermediate frequency cut-off of these mixer elements is – 3 700 MHz, and has shown little variation among other batches of devices. At 100 MHz we measured intrinsic mixer losses as low as —3 dB. We measured the noise temperatures at several intermediate frequencies, and for the best de- vice at 137 MHz with 20 MHz bandwidth, we measured 2000 K; using a low-noise first- stage amplifier at 1.5 GHz with 200 MHz bandwidth, the receiver noise temperature measured 2800 K. We estimate that the noise contribution from the mixer is 500 K and the total losses are —15 dB at 137 MHz.

Title Исследования процессов неупругой релаксации и примесная спектроскопия-релаксометрия в двумерном электронном газе в полупроводниковых структурах с квантовыми ямами Type Report
Year 1995 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages

Abstract (up) В гетероструктурах GaAs/AlGaAs впервые прямым методом измерена температурная зависимость вpемени энеpгетической pелаксации двумерного электронного газа te(T) в широком диапазоне температур Т=1,5 – 50 К в квазиравновесных условиях. Для измерений использовался высокочувствительный спектрометр миллиметрового диапазона волн с высоким временным разрешением, который позволял измерять релаксационные времена до 150 пс с погрешностью не более 20%. Верхний предел температуры определялся временным разрешением спектрометра. Исследования проводились на высококачественных образцах с поверхностной концентрацией носителей ns = 4,2 1011 см-2 и подвижностью m = 7 105 см2В-1с-1 (при Т = 4,2К). В квазиравновесных условиях из температурной зависимости tе определен предел подвижности при низких температурах (T<4.2 K), связанный с рассеянием на пьезоакустическом потенциале, получено время неупругой релаксации, связанное с рассеянием на деформационном потенциале (15 K25 K), получено характерное время испускания оптического фонона (tLO>4,5пс), которое существенно превышает время сронтанного излучения оптического фонона (примерно в 30 раз), что связано с большой ролью процессов перепоглащения фононов электронами.При низких температурах проведены измерения tе в условиях сильного разогрева. Полученные значения tе и зависимость tе от температуры электронов Те совпадают с tе(Т) в квазиравновесных условиях при Т=Те. Из полученных значений tе(Те) построена зависимость мощности энергетических потерь от Те, которая хорошо согласуется с литературными данными.Начаты измерения в магнитном поле, которые показывают переспективность использованного нами метода измерений как в области слабых магнитных полей при факторе заполнения >10, так и в области сильных магнитных полей при факторе заполнения >1-2.
