Design and operation of a microfabricated phonon spectrometer utilizing superconducting tunnel junctions as phonon transducers

In order to fully understand nanoscale heat transport it is necessary to spectrally characterize phonon transmission in nanostructures. Toward this goal we have developed a microfabricated phonon spectrometer. We utilize microfabricated superconducting tunnel junction (STJ)-based phonon transducers...
