Self-heating hotspots in superconducting nanowires cooled by phonon black-body radiation
Unlocking the ultimate potential of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors requires engineering their thermal properties. Here, the authors improve our understanding of heat flow in these devices and suggest routes to improved performance.
