Approaching the Depairing Current in Two-Layer NbN–Mo Structures
摘要
Abstract
We studies a proximity effect in 7.5-to-100-nm-thick NbN films with 5-nm-thick layer of Mo deposited in situ. This effect is revealed by 1–2 K decrease of critical temperature and increase of the ratio of critical current to depairing current up to 0.78. The latter effect is prospective for micrometer-wide superconducting single-photon detectors.
