  2. 1. NbN and NbTiN Hot Electron Bolometer THz Mixers

    Author : Pourya Khosropanah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; receiver noise; hot electron bolometer; superconducting detector; spiral antenna; NbTiN; submillimeter mixer; THz mixer; HEB; FTS; NbN; quasioptical receiver; heterodyne receiver; double slot antenna; twin slot antenna; Fourier Transform Spectrometer;

    Abstract : The thesis reports the development of Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) mixers for radio astronomy heterodyne receivers in THz frequency range. Part of this work is the fabrication of HEB devices, which are based on NbN or NbTiN superconducting thin films (≤5 nm). They are integrated with wideband spiral or double-slot planar antennas.

  4. 2. Study of MgB2 and YBa2Cu3O7-x Microbolometers for THz Sensing Applications

    Author : Stella Bevilacqua; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; THz Detectors; bolometers; IF bandwidth; YBa2< sub>Cu3< sub>O7-x< sub>; Terahertz frequency; HEB; MgB2< sub>; noise; superconductors;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two novel THz detectors based on magnesium diboride (MgB2)and yttrium barium copper oxide (YBa2Cu3O7-x) are presented. In particular,MgB2 superconductor is used for the investigation of hot-electron bolometer(HEB) mixers, while YBa2Cu3O7-x is explored in microbolometers for room-temperaturecoherent and incoherent detection.

  5. 3. Ultra-thin Niobium Nitride Films for Hot Electron Bolometer and THz Applications

    Author : Sascha Krause; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HEB; ultra-thin NbN;

    Abstract : The part of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared, also known as the terahertz band, is of particular interest for radio astronomy. The radiation intensity of the cold universe peaks at this frequency band, thus defining the demand on sensitive low-noise instruments in this particular frequency range. READ MORE
