One of the astounding consequences of quantum mechanics is that it allows the detection of a target using an incident probe, with only a low probability of interaction of the probe and the target. This ‘quantum weirdness’ could be applied in the field of electron...

Hydrothermally synthesized ZnO nanowire arrays are critical components in a range of nanostructured semiconductor devices. The device performance is governed by relevant nanowire morphological parameters that cannot be fully controlled during bulk hydrothermal...

We built a transmissometer to determine the thickness of thin films of NbN that are deposited as the starting material for SNSPDs. The transmissometer measures the transmittance of light through NbN thin films, and the thickness of the NbN is found by fitting the...

[abstract] We found that electron-beam lithography, a top-down approach, is a suitable prototyping method for templating and controlling hydrothermally-grown ZnO nanowires (NWs). By varying the deposition method of the ZnO seed layer, annealing and template hole...
