  2. 1. NbTiN for improved superconducting detectors

    Author : Julien Zichi; Val Zwiller; Gregory Gol'tsman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superconducting nanowire sngle photon detector; SNSPD; niobium titanium nitride; NbTiN; reactive co-sputtering; quantum communications; quantum sensing; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The physics of single photons is fascinating, by manipulating them we can observe and probe quantum effects. Doing so requires the fabrication and utilization of single photon sources, of which many types have been developed including quantum dots, trapped atoms and ions, and color centers. READ MORE

    Abstract : Photonic devices play a fundamental role in today’s society and are a central building blocks for numerous applications, ranging from modern internet to sensing and manufacturing, and photonics is foreseen to be the backbone of future quantum internet and quantum communication systems thanks to the long coherence time of light. At variance with electronic integrated circuits, where silicon has been the material of election for many decades, in the case of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) there are numerous options available for the material substrate.

  6. 4. Sputter Deposition, Mechanical Properties, and Thermal Stability of Nitride Based Superlattices

    Author : Carolina Engström; Helmut Holleck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Investigations concerning deposition, mechanical properties and thermal stability of nitride-based superlattice films have been performed. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques were adopted for microstructural characterization, while nanoindentation hardness and abrasive wear resistance measurements were utilized for evaluation of mechanical properties.
