Thin-Film Thermal Conductivity Measurements Using Superconducting Nanowires
We present a simple experimental scheme for estimating the cryogenic thermal transport properties of thin films using superconducting nanowires. In a parallel array of nanowires, the heat from one nanowire in ...

Toward a Detector/Readout Architecture for the Background-Limited Far-IR/Submm Spectrograph (BLISS)
We have built and tested 32-element linear arrays of absorber-coupled transition-edge sensors (TESs) read out with a time-division SQUID multiplexer. This detector/readout architecture is designed for the back...

Ultra-sensitive Transition-Edge Sensors for the Background Limited Infrared/Sub-mm Spectrograph (BLISS)
We report progress in fabricating ultra-sensitive superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) for BLISS. BLISS is a suite of grating spectrometers covering 35–433 μm with R∼700 cooled to 50 mK that is proposed...

Spectroscopic Evidence for Competing Order-Induced Pseudogap Phenomena and Unconventional Low-Energy Excitations in High-T c Cuprate Superconductors
The low-energy excitations of cuprate superconductors exhibit various characteristics that differ from those of simple Bogoliubov quasiparticles for pure
