New publication: “A nanocryotron comparator can connect single-flux-quantum circuits to conventional electronics”

New publication: “A nanocryotron comparator can connect single-flux-quantum circuits to conventional electronics”

Mar 8, 2017 | News Articles, Uncategorized

We demonstrate the use of a single three-terminal superconducting-nanowire device, called the nanocryotron (nTron), as a digital comparator to combine SFQ circuits with mature semiconductor circuits such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits....
New publication: “Photoemission from Plasmonic Nanoparticles”

New publication: “Photoemission from Plasmonic Nanoparticles”

Dec 21, 2016 | News Articles, Uncategorized

We demonstrate strong-field, carrier-envelope-phase-sensitive photoemission from arrays of tailored metallic nanoparticles, and we show the influence of the nanoparticle geometry and the plasmon resonance on the phase-sensitive response. Additionally, from a...

New Paper: “nanoSQUID operation using kinetic rather than magnetic induction”

New Paper: “nanoSQUID operation using kinetic rather than magnetic induction”

Jun 20, 2016 | News Articles, Our Research, Uncategorized

We report on a method of nanoSQUID modulation which uses kinetic inductance rather than magnetic inductance to manip-ulate the internal fluxoid state. We produced modulation using injected current rather than an applied magnetic field. Using this injected current, we...
