Simulation of the NbN Film Heating Process by a Current Pulse
摘要
Abstract
We report a numerical simulation of the heating of a niobium nitride film by a high-density current pulse (~105 A/cm2) at low temperatures (T < 20 K) in its longitudinal section, based on a two-dimensional inhomogeneous heat equation. It is shown that at a current pulse of 0.25 ms, the maximum heating temperature of the film does not exceed 0.8 K when using pressure contacts made of beryllium bronze.
