Fabrication and femtosecond photoresponse studies of MgB2 superconducting thin films
We present fabrication and optical time-resolved photoresponse characterization of MgB2 superconducting thin films. The films were prepared on crystalline and flexible plastic substrates by vacuum co-deposition of B and Mg precursors and high-temperature annealing in an Ar or vacuum atmosphere. The post-annealed films exhibited very smooth surfaces and amorphous structures with nanocrystal incl...
متن کاملPhotoinduced time-resolved electrodynamics of superconducting metals and alloys
The photoexcited state in superconducting metals and alloys was studied via pump-probe spectroscopy. A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser was used to create the nonequilibrium state and the far-infrared pulses of a synchrotron storage ring, to which the laser is synchronized, measured the changes in the material optical properties. Both the timeand frequency-dependent photoinduced spectra of Pb, Nb, NbN,...
متن کاملQuasiparticle relaxation in optically excited high-Q superconducting resonators.
The quasiparticle relaxation time in superconducting films has been measured as a function of temperature using the response of the complex conductivity to photon flux. For tantalum and aluminum, chosen for their difference in electron-phonon coupling strength, we find that at high temperatures the relaxation time increases with decreasing temperature, as expected for electron-phonon interactio...

This is the final technical report for the KISS Technical Development program entitled “Development of Ultrasensitive Photon Detectors and Microwave Amplifiers Using Superconducting Nitride Thin Films”. The Technical Development phase started in January 2011 and concluded in December 2012. The overall goal of this program was to explore the application of high-resistivity superconductors, parti...
متن کاملEnergy relaxation time in NbN and YBCO thin films under optical irradiation
For a systematic study of energy relaxation processes in thin NbN and YBCO films on sapphire substrates, a frequency domain technique has been set up and employed. The magnetron sputtered NbN films of 3 nm to 22 nm thickness and pulsed-laser deposited YBCO films with thicknesses between 20 nm and 45 nm were excited by amplitude-modulated optical radiation (λ = 850 nm). The response spectra were...
