Superconducting sampling circuits have been used to investigate the transient response of long indium microbridges to current pulses in excess of their critical currents. For the first time, the rising-edge kinetic inductance spike and the nonzero minimum voltage have been observed, as well as the delay time until the normal state appears. These results are in reasonable agreement with a detailed theoretical model of the experiment and yield an estimate of 140 ps for tau/sub E/, the inelastic scattering time, in indium. |
