New video “Optimizing Superconducting Thin Films for Nanowire Single Photon Detectors”

Apr 29, 2020 | News Articles, Uncategorized

MIT Materials Research Laboratory 2019 Summer Scholar Leah Borgsmiller worked on niobium-aluminum thin films for superconducting nanowire single photon detectors in the QNN lab. Borgsmiller grew thin films, measured their superconducting transition temperature and optimized growth conditions
