Improved Transition-edge Sensors Project: Improved Josephson Junctions in YBCO materials
Project Introduction
Better feature resolution in YBCO materials to create better Josephson junctions.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Improved detection of magnetic fields and of small electrical currents.
Can be used as part of the readout electronics for a sensitive infrared detector.
