Here, we selected a material, 3.6-nm-thick MoNx film, which features diffusivity close to those of NbN traditionally used for SSPD fabrication, but with electron-phonon interaction time an order of magnitude larger. In MoN $\infty$ detectors, we study the dependence of detection efficiency on bias current, photon energy, and strip width, and compare it with NbN SSPD. We observe nonlinear current-energy dependence in MoNx SSPD and more pronounced plateaus in dependences of detection efficiency on bias current, which we attribute to longer electron-phonon interaction time.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1325), last updated on Mon, 10 May 2021 21:35:04 -0500", issn="1051-8223", doi="10.1109/TASC.2017.2659661", opturl="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7835201/", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2017.2659661" }
