I analyze common problems of interlayer tunneling in Bi-2212 mesa structures, such as self-heating and nonuniformity of junctions. Numerical simulations have shown that self-heating does not mask the temperature dependence of the…

Using advanced sample engineering we performed simultaneous measurement of intrinsic (interlayer) tunnelling characteristics and in-situ monitoring of temperature in small Bi-2212 mesa structures. Together with a systematic study of…

I numerically analyze Joule heating in large Bi2212 mesas while taking into account typical thermal conductivities and their temperature dependencies of all the materials involved in the heat dissipation and its removal. Such mesas are used…

In a recent paper [Phys.Rev.B 81, 224518 (2010)], C. Kurter et al, analyzed the effect of strong self-heating in large-area Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi-2212) mesa structures. They conclude that $dI/dV$ conductance peaks in their…

We present a thermal analysis of a patterned mesa on a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) single crystal that is based on tunneling characteristics of the c-axis stack of ~800 intrinsic Josephson junctions in the mesa. Despite the large mesa volume…

We describe two experimental approaches to circumvent the problem of self-heating in IV measurements on small mesa samples of 2212-BSCCO. Simultaneous dc and temperature measurements have been performed, allowing corrections for heating to…

Anomalously high and sharp peaks in the conductance of intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi2212) mesas have been universally interpreted as superconducting energy gaps, but here we show they are a…

We report four-point IV measurements of the c-axis conductivity of mesa structures of 2212-BSCCO, using a system with sub-microsecond resolution along with multi-level pulses. These allow a test to be made for the presence of nonequilibrium…

This work investigates the relationship between self-heating and the characteristic features observed in the current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) junctions. Finite-element analysis is…

We present intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy measurements on small Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ mesas. The tunnel conductance curves show both sharp peaks at the superconducting gap voltage and broad humps representing the $c$-axis…

The recent PRB 73, 224501 (2006) henceforth referred as Ref.\cite{0} asserts that self-heating decreases with sample area reduction and claims to identify the intrinsic cause of ITS in submicrometre `mesa'. I will show that this assertion…

Impedance matching and heat management are important factors influencing performance of THz sources. In this work we analyze thermal and radiative properties of such devices based on mesa structures of a layered high-temperature…

This work presents a self-heating study of a 40-nm bulk-CMOS technology in the ambient temperature range from 300 K down to 4.2 K. A custom test chip was designed and fabricated for measuring both the temperature rise in the MOSFET channel…

We present a detailed study of the quasiparticle contribution to the low-temperature specific heat of an extreme type-II superconductor at high magnetic fields. Within a T-matrix approximation for the self-energies in the mixed state of a…

We present a study of thermalisation of a small isolated Hubbard lattice cluster prepared in a pure state with a well-defined energy. We examine how a two-site subsystem of the lattice thermalises with the rest of the system as its…

We study temperature dependence of geometrical (Fiske) and velocity-matching (Eck) resonances in the flux flow state of small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x mesa structures. It is shown that the quality factor of resonances is high at low T, but rapidly…

Self-heating in surrounding gate transistors can degrade its on-current performance and reduce lifetime. If a transistor heats/cools with time-constants less than the inverse of the operating frequency, a predictable, frequency-independent…

To investigate the origin of the enhanced $T_c$ ($\approx$ 110 K) of the trilayer cuprate superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{10+\delta}$ (Bi-2223), we have performed systematic magnetoresistance (MR) measurements on this…

From the photoluminescence of SiC microcrystals uniformly covering a rectangular mesa of the high transition temperature $T_c$ superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$, the local surface temperature $T({\bm r})$ was directly…

Stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) made from high-temperature superconductors such as Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+\delta} (Bi-2212) are a promising source of coherent continuous-wave terahertz radiation. It is thought that at…
