Fabrication of wide-IF 200–300GHz superconductor–insulator–superconductor mixers with suspended metal beam leads formed on silicon-on-insulator

Description: This article reports on a fabrication process that uses silicon-oninsulator (SOI) substrates and micromachining techniques to form wide-IF superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) mixer devices that have suspended metal beam leads for rf grounding. Aside from a description of the fabrication process, electrical measurements of these Nb/Al–AlNₓ /Nb trilayer devices will also be presented.

Probing Noise in Flux Qubits via Macroscopic Resonant Tunneling

Description: Article on the characterization of noise in a flux qubit using macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two lowest lying states of a bistable rf SQUID. Analysis of these results indicates that the dominant source of low energy flux noise in this device is a quantum mechanical environment in thermal equilibrium.

Geometrical dependence of the low-frequency noise in superconducting flux qubits

Description: Article reporting on a study of a series of 85 devices of vary design using a general method for directly measuring the low-frequency flux noise (below 10 Hz) in compound Josephson-junction superconducting flux qubits. The results support the hypothesis that local impurities in the vicinity of the qubit wiring are a key source of low-frequency flux noise in superconducting devices.

Interrogating vertically oriented carbon nanofibers with nanomanipulation for nanoelectromechanical switching applications

Description: Article demonstrates electrostatic switching in vertically oriented carbon nanofibers synthesized on refractory metallic nitride substrates, where pull-in voltages Vpi ranged from 10 to 40 V. A finite element model was also developed to determine a theoretical Vpi and results were compared to experiment.
