Calorimetric readout of a superconducting proximity-effect thermometer
نویسنده
چکیده
A proximity-effect thermometer measures the temperature dependent critical supercurrent in a long superconductor normal metal superconductor (SNS) Josephson junction. Typically, the transition from the superconducting to the normal state is detected by monitoring the appearance of a voltage across the junction. We describe a new approach to detect the transition based on the temperature increase in the resistive state due to Joule heating. Our method increases the sensitivity and is especially applicable for temperatures below about 300 mK.

In this paper, we investigate the superconducting proximity effect for a superconductor with three types of singlet, OSP and ESP triplet pairings in contact with a clean ferromagnetic region. Using the quasiclassical Green’s function approach, we calculate the superconducting pair amplitude function in terms of the characteristic parameters of the system and compare penetration of these superco...
متن کاملA PNIPAM-based fluorescent nanothermometer with ratiometric readout.
A novel molecular thermometer with ratiometric fluorescence readout was designed and synthesized. Within a sensing temperature range of 33 to 41 °C, the fluorescence color of the nanothermometer changes from blue to green. The ratiometric change magnitude is about 8.7-fold, rendering the visual differentiation of color by the naked eyes feasible.
متن کاملProximity effects and vortex dynamics in superconducting heterostructures
Vortex lattice dynamics has been studied in thin Nb superconducting films sputtered on top of a dense triangular array of V dots with and without an intermediate SiO2 insulating layer. While the insulating layer modifies only slightly the Nb film corrugation, it reduces superconducting commensurability effects (CE) substantially. This implies that superconducting commensurability is dominated b...
متن کاملTuning the influence of microscopic decoherence on the superconducting proximity effect in a graphene Andreev interferometer.
We discuss transport measurements through graphene Andreev interferometers exhibiting reentrance of the superconducting proximity effect. We observe that at high gate voltage (VBG) the energy dependence of the Andreev conductance oscillations exhibits a scaling in agreement with theoretical expectations, which breaks down at low VBG, when the Fermi energy approaches the charge neutrality point....
متن کاملCatch-disperse-release readout for superconducting qubits.
We analyze a single-shot readout for superconducting qubits via the controlled catch, dispersion, and release of a microwave field. A tunable coupler is used to decouple the microwave resonator from the transmission line during the dispersive qubit-resonator interaction, thus circumventing damping from the Purcell effect. We show that, if the qubit frequency tuning is sufficiently adiabatic, a ...
