Measured values of $\tau$eph are from 5.5{\thinspace}ns to 88{\thinspace}ns in the 4.2 to 1.7{\thinspace}K temperature range and consistent with a T-3 temperature dependence. The electronic density of states at the Fermi level N0 is estimated from measured material parameters. The presented results confirm that thin TiN films are promising candidate-materials for ultrasensitive superconducting detectors.The work was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Contract No. 14.B25.31.0007 and by the RFBR Grant No. 13-02-91159.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=941), last updated on Thu, 13 May 2021 14:35:05 -0500", doi="10.1063/1.4851235", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4851235" }
