Design and operation of a microfabricated phonon spectrometer utilizing superconducting tunnel junctions as phonon transducers

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:In order to fully understand nanoscale heat transport it is necessary to spectrally characterize phonon transmission in nanostructures. Towards this goal we have developed a microfabricated phonon spectrometer. We utilize microfabricated superconducting tunnel junction-based (STJ) phonon transducers for the emission and detection of tunable, non-thermal, and spectrally resolved acoustic […]
