| Popis: | We are developing normal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions for use as X-ray detectors for astronomical purposes and as phonon sensors for dark matter detectors. We are using photolithographic techniques to produce structures in which aluminum is the superconductor, Al 2 O 3 is the tunnel barrier, and copper is the normal metal. We describe microfabrication details and present X-ray pulse data. |
