Interest in superconducting microresonators has grown dramatically over the past decade.
Resonator performance has improved substantially through the use of improved geometries …

In this review, we discuss the results of recent experimental studies of the low-temperature
electron dephasing time (τ ϕ) in metal and semiconductor mesoscopic structures. A major …

Titanium nitride (TiN x) films are ideal for use in superconducting microresonator detectors
for the following reasons:(a) the critical temperature varies with composition (0< T c< 5 …

Superconducting detectors will play an increasingly significant role in astrophysics,
especially at millimeter through far-IR wavelengths, where the scientific opportunities …

Low temperature detectors have been a subject of intense interest to the scientific
community over the last decade. These detectors work at very low temperatures, often well …

The paper reviews the main aspects of nonequilibrium hot-electron phenomena in
superconductors and various theoretical models developed to describe the hot-electron …

Employing the Keldysh diagram technique, we calculate the electron-phonon energy
relaxation rate in a conductor with the vibrating and static δ-correlated random electron …

Out of equilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) are one of the main sources of decoherence in
superconducting quantum circuits and one that is particularly detrimental in devices with …

This paper reviews the state of rapidly emerging terahertz hot-electron nanobolometers
(nano-HEB), which are currently among of the most sensitive radiation power detectors at …

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 …
