Fabrication of wide-IF 200–300GHz superconductor–insulator–superconductor mixers with suspended metal beam leads formed on silicon-on-insulator (open access)

Fabrication of wide-IF 200–300GHz superconductor–insulator–superconductor mixers with suspended metal beam leads formed on silicon-on-insulator

This article reports on a fabrication process that uses silicon-oninsulator (SOI) substrates and micromachining techniques to form wide-IF superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) mixer devices that have suspended metal beam leads for rf grounding. Aside from a description of the fabrication process, electrical measurements of these Nb/Al–AlNₓ /Nb trilayer devices will also be presented.

Geometrical dependence of the low-frequency noise in superconducting flux qubits (open access)

Geometrical dependence of the low-frequency noise in superconducting flux qubits

Article reporting on a study of a series of 85 devices of vary design using a general method for directly measuring the low-frequency flux noise (below 10 Hz) in compound Josephson-junction superconducting flux qubits. The results support the hypothesis that local impurities in the vicinity of the qubit wiring are a key source of low-frequency flux noise in superconducting devices.

Probing Noise in Flux Qubits via Macroscopic Resonant Tunneling (open access)

Probing Noise in Flux Qubits via Macroscopic Resonant Tunneling

Article on the characterization of noise in a flux qubit using macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two lowest lying states of a bistable rf SQUID. Analysis of these results indicates that the dominant source of low energy flux noise in this device is a quantum mechanical environment in thermal equilibrium.

Interrogating vertically oriented carbon nanofibers with nanomanipulation for nanoelectromechanical switching applications (open access)

Interrogating vertically oriented carbon nanofibers with nanomanipulation for nanoelectromechanical switching applications

Article demonstrates electrostatic switching in vertically oriented carbon nanofibers synthesized on refractory metallic nitride substrates, where pull-in voltages Vpi ranged from 10 to 40 V. A finite element model was also developed to determine a theoretical Vpi and results were compared to experiment.
