Westig, M.P. (author), Selig, S. (author), Jacobs, K. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Honingh, C.E. (author)In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally the implementation of a niobium-trilayer junction with an aluminum-oxide tunnel barrier, embedded in a high-gap superconducting niobium-titanium-nitride circuit. Previously reported heating by quasiparticle trapping is removed by inserting a normal metal layer of gold between the niobium junction and...journal article 2013

Vercruyssen, N. (author), Barends, R. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Muhonen, J.T. (author), Meschke, M. (author), Pekola, J.P. (author)We demonstrate an increased quasiparticle recombination time in superconducting resonators on a SiNx membrane, compared to identical resonators on a SiNx/Si wafer. An interpretation is given using a thermal model of the membrane. Using an array of tunnel junctions to cool or heat the membrane, we show that the resonators on the membranes are...journal article 2011
