This review describes bolometric detectors for infrared and millimeter waves. The
introduction sketches the history of modern bolometers, indicates how they fit into the more …

Thermal transport across interfaces is becoming increasingly important with the advent of
nanostructures and nanocomposite materials. A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics …

Intense Terahertz Excitation of Semiconductors presents the first comprehensive treatment
of high-power terahertz applications to semiconductors and low-dimensional semiconductor …

The book develops a comprehensive understanding of the surface impedance of the oxide
high-temperature superconductors in comparison with the conventional superconductor …

Inelastic electron scattering at the interface between a conducting film and an insulating
substrate provides a new channel for energy transfer from the film electrons to the substrate …

By extending scanning electron microscopy to the temperature regime of liquid helium and
nitrogen a powerful technique for the imaging of the local properties of superconducting thin …

As the transport current density J in a superconductor is increased beyond its critical value J
c, dissipation sets in resulting in a finite resistivity. The superconducting state itself, however …

Thermal boundary resistance (Rb) plays an important role in the design and performance of
thin-film high-temperature superconducting devices, such as infrared detectors and optical …

The realization of superconducting single-photon detectors operating above the liquid-
helium temperature is currently the focus of intense research efforts. Here, we present the …

We have measured the transport properties of a series of underdoped YB a 2 C u 3 O 7-δ
nanowires fabricated with widths of 100–250 nm. We observe large telegraphlike …
