De Visser, P.J. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Yates, S.J.C. (author), Diener, P. (author), Endo, A. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We have measured the number of quasiparticles and their lifetime in aluminium superconducting microwave resonators. The number of excess quasiparticles below 160?mK decreases from 72 to 17??m?3 with a 6?dB decrease of the microwave power. The quasiparticle lifetime increases accordingly from 1.4 to 3.5?ms. These properties of the superconductor...journal article 2012

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
