Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Enhanced Sensitivity of THz NbN Hot Electron Bolometer Mixers. (arXiv:2311.02613v1 [physics.ins-det])

Click here to flash read.

We studied the effect of the NbN/Au contact on the sensitivities of a NbN hot
electron bolometer (HEB) mixer by measuring the double sideband (DSB) receiver
noise temperature (T_rec_DSB) at three local oscillator frequencies of 1.6, 2.5
and 5.3 THz. The HEB has cleaned contact structures with a thick Au layer. We
demonstrated low mixer noise temperatures (T_mixer_DSB) of 240 K and 290 K at
1.6 and 2.5 THz, respectively. The latter reach roughly 3 times the quantum
noise at their frequencies. The mixer is developed for the proposed OASIS and
SALTUS (concept) missions. The enhanced T_mixer_DSB are more than 30 % better
in comparison with published NbN HEB mixers. The improvement can reduce the
integration time of a heterodyne instrument roughly by a factor of 2. The
T_mixer^DSB of the same HEB has shown limited improvement at 5.3 THz, which is
partly due to non-optimized antenna geometry. Besides, the results also help to
understand device physics of a wide HEB (4 um) at high frequencies.
