Johnson noise thermometry of CVD graphene bolometers
St. Petersburg Polytechnical University Journal: Physics and Mathematics. 2024. Vol. 17. No. 3.2. P. 46–51.
Graphene, due to its record low electron heat capacity and weak electron-phonon coupling at low temperatures, is considered as a promising material for creating terahertz hot electron bolometers. The main challenge to the development of such devices is the weak dependence of graphene resistance on temperature. Here we demonstrate measurement system based on Johnson noise thermometry to directly measure electron temperature in graphene. We measure thermal conductance due to electron-phonon coupling at bath temperature 4,2 K. Our graphene is synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and transferred to Si/SiO2 substrate. The electron−phonon thermal conductance has a temperature power law of T4 which is typical for highly disordered graphene. We estimate the sensitivity of CVD graphene based bolometer with Johnson noise readout. The internal noise equivalent power (NEP) is determined by thermodynamic fluctuations and is equal to 3 fW/Hz0.5. The sensitivity of the detector is limited by the read out noise and is equal to 267 pW/Hz0.5. Thе low internal NEP together with potential fast response time makes CVD graphene to be promising material in the area of bolometry.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Thermoelectric materials, long explored for energy harvesting and thermal sensing, convert heat directly into electrical signals. Extending their application to the terahertz (THz) frequency range opens opportunities for low-noise, bias-free THz detection, yet conventional thermoelectrics lack the sensitivity required for practical devices. Thermoelectric coefficients can be strongly enhanced near van Hove singularities (VHS), though these ...

Light incident upon materials can induce changes in their electrical conductivity, a phenomenon referred to as photoresistance. In semiconductors, the photoresistance is negative, as light-induced promotion of electrons across the bandgap enhances the number of charge carriers participating in transport. In superconductors and normal metals, the photoresistance is positive because of the destruction of the ...

The rapid development of infrared spectroscopy, observational astronomy, and scanning near-field microscopy has been enabled by the emergence of sensitive mid- and far-infrared photodetectors. Superconducting hot-electron bolometers (HEBs), known for their exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and fast photoresponse, play a crucial role in these applications. While superconducting HEBs are traditionally crafted from sputtered thin films such ...

Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) are considered as main candidates for future low-power electronic circuits. The origin of low-power switching is the steep dependence of source-drain interband tunneling current on the overlap between conduction and valence bands [1]. Despite numerous applications of TFETs in logic circuits, it was not realized that strong (nonlinear) sensitivity of tunnel ...

In this paper we investigate a novel approach to inventing graphene-based sub-ter- ahertz bolometers using noise thermometry. Graphene is a unique material for detecting radi- ation in the sub-terahertz (0.1–1 THz) and terahertz (1–10 THz) ranges due to its record low electron heat capacity and weak electron-phonon coupling. This results in sufficient heating of graphene ...
