Characterizing a dc-SQUID and a Mo/TiW/Cu -trilayer transition-edge sensor array
Tutkielmassa määritettiin uuden suprajohtavan kvantti-interferenssilaitteen ja 256
pikseliä sisältävän sirun transitioreunailmaisimien ominaisuuksia. Komponentit vaativat
erittäin matalia lämpötiloja ja suojauksen suurilta magneettikentiltä muuttuakseen
suprajohtaviksi. Tärkeimmät mitatut ominaisuudet olivat suprajohtavan
kvantti-interferenssilaitteen signaalin vahvistuskerroin sekä kohina ja transitioreunailmaisimen
transitiolämpötila, normaalitilan vastus, virta-jännite-käyttäytyminen,
sekä kohina. Motivaationa tutkimukselle oli etsiä käytetyn mittalaite kokonaisuuden
herkkyyden rajat sekä pyrkiä sovittamaan teoreettista mallia transitioreunailmaisimen
kohinan ymmärtämiseksi. Korkean taajuuden kohinassa on käytössä erilaisia
olettamuksia, mutta yhtenäistä teoriaa ei ole vielä yleisesti hyväksytty. A new superconducting quantum interference device and a transition-edge sensor
from a 256 pixel chip was characterized in this thesis. In order to reach superconducting
transition the components need extremely low temperatures and shielding from
high magnetic fields. Important quantities measured were the amplification factor
and the noise floor of the superconducting quantum interference device and the transition
temperature, the normal state resistance, the current-voltage-characteristics,
and the noise of the transition-edge sensor. The motivation for this research was to
find the sensitivity limits of the measurement system and fit a theoretical model to
better understand the noise properties of the transition-edge sensor. A unified theory
is not yet determined for the high frequency noise, but there are a few different
models.

Thermodynamics of a Phase-Driven Proximity Josephson Junction
Vischi, Francesco; Carrega, Matteo; Braggio, Alessandro; Virtanen, Pauli; Giazotto, Francesco (MDPI, 2019)We study the thermodynamic properties of a superconductor/normal metal/superconductor Josephson junction in the short limit. Owing to the proximity effect, such a junction constitutes a thermodynamic system where phase ... -
