| 20090270262 | MAGNETOELECTRIC SUSCEPTIBILITY MEASUREMENT METHOD AND THE SYSTEM THEREOF - Disclosed herein is a method and system for measuring magnetoelectric susceptibility. The system includes a magnet supplying a DC magnetic bias to a magnetoelectric sample, an AC drive coil applying an AC magnetic field to the magnetoelectric sample, a charge amplifier amplifying an electric charge signal of the magnetoelectric sample oscillating by the AC magnetic field, and a phase sensitive detector detecting the voltage signal produced by the charge amplifier while supplying induction current to the AC drive coil. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a highly sensitive system for measuring magnetoelectric susceptibility, which is essential for research on multiferroic and magnetoelectric bulk and thin film materials at room temperature, and can also operate in the physical property measurement system (PPMS, manufactured by Quantum Design Co., Ltd.) for measurements under low temperature and high magnetic field environments. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20120077680 | NANOWIRE-BASED DETECTOR - Systems, articles, and methods are provided related to nanowire-based detectors, which can be used for light detection in, for example, single-photon detectors. In one aspect, a variety of detectors are provided, for example one including an electrically superconductive nanowire or nanowires constructed and arranged to interact with photons to produce a detectable signal. In another aspect, fabrication methods are provided, including techniques to precisely reproduce patterns in subsequently formed layers of material using a relatively small number of fabrication steps. By precisely reproducing patterns in multiple material layers, one can form electrically insulating materials and electrically conductive materials in shapes such that incoming photons are redirected toward a nearby electrically superconductive materials (e.g., electrically superconductive nanowire(s)). For example, one or more resonance structures (e.g., comprising an electrically insulating material), which can trap electromagnetic radiation within its boundaries, can be positioned proximate the nanowire(s). The resonance structure can include, at its boundaries, electrically conductive material positioned proximate the electrically superconductive nanowire such that light that would otherwise be transmitted through the sensor is redirected toward the nanowire(s) and detected. In addition, electrically conductive material can be positioned proximate the electrically superconductive nanowire (e.g. at the aperture of the resonant structure), such that light is directed by scattering from this structure into the nanowire. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120258861 | TWISTED TRACK INTERFEROMETER FOR PRODUCING MAGIC STATES - A twisted track interferometer (TTI) for producing magic states is disclosed. The spin of ½-vortices may be exploited to produce magic states. The disclosed “twisted track interferometer” is a “topological twist” on the conventional Pabre-Pero interferometer adapted to topological superconductors. In the disclosed TTI, the probe particles may be Josephson vortices (JVs). JVs are estimated to be light and will tunnel more easily than Abrikosov vortices. Also, the disclosed TTI does not require multiple tunneling events. Rather, the JVs are propelled down thin insulating tracks within a 2D topological p-wave superconductor by a Magnus force generated by a tunneling supercurrent across the tracks. The JVs encounter tunneling junctions as they pass into the arms of the TTI. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20130143744 | SUPERCONDUCTING NANOWIRE AVALANCHE PHOTODETECTORS (SNAPS) WITH FAST RESET TIME - A superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetector (SNAP) with improved high-speed performance. An inductive element may be coupled in series with at least two parallel-coupled nanowires. The nanowires may number 5 or fewer, and may be superconducting and responsive to even a single photon. The series inductor may ensure current diverted from a photon-absorbing nanowire propagates to other nanowires and become amplified. The series inductance may be less than 10 times the nominal inductance per nanowire, and may also be larger than a minimum inductance to avoid spurious outputs in response to a photon absorption. The series inductance may be configured to achieve a desired tradeoff between SNAP reset time and spurious outputs. For example, the series inductance may be configured achieve minimum reset time or maximum bias margin, subject to user-defined constraints. By appropriately configuring the series inductance, a systematic method of designing improved SNAPs may be provided. | 06-06-2013 |
