In this work we report on the response of asymetric graphene based devices to subterahertz and terahertz radiation. Our devices are made in a configuration of a field-effect tranistor with conduction channel between the source and drain electrodes formed with a VD-grown graphene. The radiation is coupled through a spiral antenna to source and top gate electrodes. Room temperature responsivity of our devices is close to the values that are attractive for commercial applications. Further optimization of the device configuration may result in appearance of novel terahertz radiation detectors.

We characterize superconducting antenna-coupled hot-electron bolometers for direct detection of terahertz radiation operating at a temperature of 9.0 K. The estimated value of responsivity obtained from lumped-element theory is strongly different from the measured one. A numerical calculation of the detector responsivity is developed, using the Euler method, applied to the system of heat balance ...

We report on the sub-terahertz (THz) (129–450GHz) photoresponse of devices based on single
layer graphene and graphene nanoribbons with asymmetric source and drain (vanadium and gold)
contacts. Vanadium forms a barrier at the graphene interface, while gold forms an Ohmic contact.
We find that at low temperatures (77K) the detector responsivity rises with the increasing
frequency of the incident ...

Ferromagnetic materials with exchange fields E_ex smaller or of the order of the superconducting gap Delta are important for applications of corresponding (s-wave) superconductor/ ferromagnet/ superconductor (SFS) junctions. Presently such materials are not known but there are several proposals how to create them. Small exchange fields are in principle difficult to detect. Based on our ...

We demonstrate that in sufficiently long diffusive superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS) junctions dc Josephson current is exponentially suppressed by electron-electron interactions down to zero temperature. This suppression is caused by the effect of Cooper pair dephasing which occurs in the normal metal and defines a new fundamental length scale Lφ in the problem. This length is fully consistent with that derived ...

We investigate electron cooling based on a clean normal-metal/spin-filter/superconductor junction. Due to the suppression of the Andreev reflection by the spin-filter effect, the cooling power of the system is found to be extremely higher than that for conventional normal-metal/nonmagnetic-insulator/superconductor coolers. Therefore we can extract large amount of heat from normal metals. Our results strongly indicate ...

We consider the carrier transport and plasmonic phenomena in the lateral carbon nanotube (CNT) networks forming the device channel with asymmetric electrodes. One electrode is the Ohmic contact to the CNT network and the other contact is the Schottky contact. These structures can serve as detectors of the terahertz (THz) radiation. We develop the device ...

The presence of magnetic fields and/or transport currents can cause penetration of vortices in superconductors. Their motion leads to dissipation and resistive state arises, which in turn strongly affects the performance of superconducting devices such as single-photon and single-electron detectors. Therefore, an understanding of the dissipation mechanisms in mesoscopic superconductors is not only of fundamental ...

Superconducting hybrid structures with topological order and induced magnetization offer a promising way to realize fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, the effect of the interplay between magnetization and the property of the topological insulator surface, otherwise known as spin-momentum locking on the superconducting proximity effect, still remains to be investigated. We relied on the quasiclassical self-consistent ...

Demand for efficient terahertz radiation detectors resulted in intensive study of the asymmetric carbon nanostructures as a possible solution for that problem. It was maintained that photothermoelectric effect under certain conditions results in strong response of such devices to terahertz radiation even at room temperature. In this work, we investigate different mechanisms underlying the response ...

Using a microwave probe as a tool, we have performed experiments aimed at understanding the origin of the output-power fluctuations in hot-electron-bolometer (HEB) mixers. We use a probe frequency of 1.5 GHz. The microwave probe picks up impedance changes of the HEB, which are examined upon demodulation of the reflected wave outside the cryostat. This ...

Plasma functionalization of graphene is one of the facile ways to tune its doping level without the
need for wet chemicals making graphene photoluminescent. Microscopic corrugations in the twodimensional
structure of bilayer CVD graphene having a quasi-free-suspended top layer, such as
graphene ripples, nanodomes, and bubbles, may significantly enhance local reactivity leading to
etching effects on exposure to plasma. ...

The study of the bolometer response to terahertz (THz) radiation from a double-barrier resonant tunneling diode (RTD) biased into the negative differential conductivity region of the I–V characteristic revealed that the RTD emits two pulses in a period of intrinsic self-oscillations of current. The bolometer pulse repetition rate is a multiple of the fundamental frequency ...

Supercapacitors based on carbon nanomaterials are attracting much attention because of their high capacitance enabled by large specific surface area. The introduction of heteroatoms such as N or O enhances the specific capacitance of these materials. However, the mechanisms that lead to the increase in the specific capacitance are not yet well-studied. In this Letter, we ...

The magnetization in a superconductor induced due to the inverse proximity effect is
investigated in hybrid bilayers containing a superconductor and a ferromagnetic
insulator or a strongly spin-polarized ferromagnetic metal. The study is performed

with boundary conditions appropriate for strongly spin-polarized ferromagnetic
materials. A comparison with recent experimental data ...

The phase of quantum magneto-oscillations is often associated with the Berry phase and is widely used to
argue in favor of topological nontriviality of the system (Berry phase 2πn + π). Nevertheless, the experimentally
determined value may deviate from 2πn + π arbitrarily, therefore more care should be made analyzing the
phase of magneto-oscillations to distinguish trivial systems ...

We investigate the effect of interacting quantum phase slips on persistent current and its fluctuations in ultrathin superconducting nanowires and nanorings pierced by the external magnetic flux. We derive the effective action for these systems and map the original problem onto an effective sine-Gordon theory on torus. We evaluate both the flux dependent persistent current ...

We investigate single- and multi-photon detection regimes of superconducting nanowire detectors embedded in silicon nitride nanophotonic circuits. At near-infrared wavelengths, simultaneous detection of up to three photons is observed for 120 nm wide nanowires biased far from the critical current, while narrow nanowires below 100 nm provide efficient single photon detection. A theoretical model is proposed to ...

We found that background radiation limits the dark count rates of superconducting single photon detectors coupled to standard single mode optical fibers to a minimum level when the source temperature of the photons is close to 300 K. We measured this level to be 103 cps, which was confirmed by a theoretical analysis of the ...
