S-N switching of niobium and YBCO films: limit time and perspective of fast key element creation

  • 1. Moskovskij Gosudarstvennyj Pedagogicheskij Inst., Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

A study was made on processes of switching of thin niobium film strips between superconducting and normal states under the effect of optical radiation pulse and voltage step. The results are described satisfactorily by the model of spatial homogeneous electron heating. It is shown that limiting switching times can be equal to several shares of nanosecond at 4.2 K. Preliminary results for YBa2Cu3O-7-x films are presented. Prospects and advantages of creation of ducting structures of narrow streps, are discussed
