Josephson Junction Physics
Josphson Junctions are the core of complex devices which have different applications.
Temperature-to-phase conversion THz radiation sensors (T-CONVERSE)
The T-CONVERSE project
Superconducting sensors
TES, and TPC are two examples about Superconductivity's applications in detection.
Sensors fabrication
The devices we propose are fabricated with Shadow-Mask Evaporation techinque.
Cryogenic systems
Dillution cryostat with base temperature of 10mK are used to reach the needed temperature ranges.
Scope
Radiation in the 1GHz-10THz range is suitable for both basic science and technology purposes. The main applications of the detectors we are proposing are showed below.
