Semenov, A. V. (author), Devyatov, I. A. (author), Westig, M.P. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We address parametric amplifiers and kinetic inductance detectors, using concepts of the microscopic theory of superconductivity, and focusing on the interaction of microwave radiation with the superconducting condensate. This interaction was identified in recent experiments as the source of the apparent dissipation in microwave...journal article 2020

Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Semenov, A. V. (author)Superconducting hot-electron bolometers are presently the best performing mixing devices for the frequency range beyond 1.2 THz, where good-quality superconductor-insulator-superconductor devices do not exist. Their physical appearance is very simple: an antenna consisting of a normal metal, sometimes a normal-metal-superconductor bilayer,...journal article 2017

Semenov, A. V. (author), Devyatov, I. A. (author), de Visser, P.J. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We describe theoretically the depairing effect of a microwave field on diffusive s-wave superconductors. The ground state of the superconductor is altered qualitatively in analogy to the depairing due to a dc current. In contrast to dc depairing, the density of states acquires, for microwaves with frequency ω0, steps at multiples of the...journal article 2016

Kardakova, A. (author), Shishkin, A. (author), Semenov, A. (author), Goltsman, G.N. (author), Ryabchun, S. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Bousquet, J. (author), Eon, D. (author), Sacépé, B. (author), Klein, T. (author), Bustarret, E. (author)We report a study of the relaxation time of the restoration of the resistive superconducting state in single crystalline boron-doped diamond using amplitude-modulated absorption of (sub-)THz radiation (AMAR). The films grown on an insulating diamond substrate have a low carrier density of about 2.5×1021cm?3 and a critical temperature of about 2K...journal article 2016

Peltonen, J.T. (author), Astafiev, O.V. (author), Korneeva, Y.P. (author), Voronov, B.M. (author), Korneev, A.A. (author), Charaev, I.M. (author), Semenov, A.V. (author), Golt'sman, G.N. (author), Ioffe, L.B. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Tsai, J.S. (author)We demonstrate evidence of coherent magnetic flux tunneling through superconducting nanowires patterned in a thin highly disordered NbN film. The phenomenon is revealed as a superposition of flux states in a fully metallic superconducting loop with the nanowire acting as an effective tunnel barrier for the magnetic flux, and reproducibly...journal article 2013
