Description

Full text: With the advent of sub-micrometre fabrication technology, superconducting devices have entered a new regime of applications. In the example to be described, the quantum limits of energy sensitivity, response time and spectral bandwidth of a SQUID-based nano-bolometer are explored. Experimental proof of-principle data are presented and prospects for the ultimate goal of single-particle detection and spectroscopy are discussed. Copyright (2005) Australian Institute of Physics
