    Notes: [Auszug] Inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO) will enhance the repletion of amines by DOPA and will potentiate its central stimulatory effects in normal and reserpinized animals3. This potentiation probably depends on a sparing of the substrates of MAO. Other antidepressants, for example, imipramine ...

    Notes: We have investigated a Josephson effect heterodyne mixer for the millimeter wave band employing high-Tc GdBaCuO point contacts. Mixer performance was in qualitative agreement with theory. A mixing response was observed up to 55 K, the highest operating temperature achieved for such a device to date. The voltage separation of rf-induced steps gave a value of h/2e=2.08×10−15 V s which is in excellent agreement with the value expected for Cooper pairs. In addition, the temperature dependence of the I0R product was found to agree with Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory in the weak coupling limit.

    Notes: We have made a systematic study of the gain and noise in superconductor-insulator-superconductor mixers employing Ta based, Nb based, and Pb-alloy based tunnel junctions. These junctions displayed both weak and strong quantum effects at a signal frequency of 33 GHz. The effects of energy gap sharpness and subgap current were investigated and are quantitatively related to mixer performance. Detailed comparisons are made of the mixing results with the predictions of a three-port model approximation to the Tucker theory. We have measured mixer performance with a novel test apparatus which is accurate enough to allow for the first quantitative tests of theoretical noise predictions. We find that the three-port model of the Tucker theory underestimates the mixer noise temperature by a factor of about 2 for all of our mixers. In addition, predicted values of available mixer gain are in reasonable agreement with experiment when quantum effects are weak. However, as quantum effects become strong, the predicted available gain diverges to infinity, which is in sharp contrast to the experimental results. Predictions of coupled gain do not always show such divergences.

    Notes: The prospects of a YBa2Cu3O7−δ hot-electron bolometer mixer for a THz heterodyne receiver are discussed. The modeled device is a submicron bridge made from a 10-nm-thick film on a high thermal conductance substrate. The mixer performance expected for this device is analyzed in the framework of a two-temperature model which includes heating both of the electrons and the lattice. Also, the contribution of phonon diffusion from the film through the substrate and from the film to the normal metal contacts is evaluated. The intrinsic conversion efficiency and the noise temperature have been calculated as functions of the device size, local oscillator (LO) power, and ambient temperature. Assuming thermal fluctuations and Johnson noise to be the main sources of noise, a minimum single sideband mixer noise temperature of ≅2000 K is predicted. For our modeled device the intrinsic conversion loss at an intermediate frequency of 2.5 GHz is less than 10 dB and the required LO power is ∼1–10 μW. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Mixing experiments have been performed at frequencies from 4 to 20 GHz on Nb thin-film superconducting hot-electron bolometers varying in length from 0.08 to 3 μm. The intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth is found to vary as L−2, with L the bridge length, for devices shorter than (square root of)12 Le−ph≈1 μm, with Le−ph the electron-phonon length. The shortest device has an IF bandwidth greater than 6 GHz, the largest reported for a low-Tc superconducting bolometric mixer. The conversion efficiencies range from −5 to −11 dB (single sideband, SSB). For short bridges, the mixer noise temperature is found to be as low as 100 K (double sideband, DSB), with little length dependence. The local oscillator power required is small, ≈10 nW. Such mixers are very promising for low-noise THz heterodyne receivers. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Heterodyne measurements have been made at 533 GHz using a novel superconducting hot-electron bolometer in a waveguide mixer. The bolometer is a 0.3 μm long niobium microbridge with a superconducting transition temperature of 5 K. The short length ensures that electron diffusion dominates over electron-phonon interactions as the electron cooling mechanism, which should allow heterodyne detection with intermediate frequencies (if) of several GHz. A Y-factor response of 1.15 dB has been obtained at an if of 1.4 GHz with 77 and 295 K loads, indicating a receiver noise temperature of 650 K DSB. The −3 dB rolloff in the if response occurs at 1.7 GHz. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The noise performance of a Nb hot-electron bolometer mixer at 2.5 THz has been investigated. The devices are fabricated from a 12-nm-thick Nb film, and have a 0.30 μm×0.15 μm in-plane size, thus exploiting diffusion as the electron cooling mechanism. The rf coupling was provided by a twin-slot planar antenna on an elliptical Si lens. The experimentally measured double sideband noise temperature of the receiver was as low as 2750±250 K with an estimated mixer noise temperature of (approximate)900 K. The mixer bandwidth derived from both noise bandwidth and IF impedance measurements was (approximate)1.4 GHz. These results demonstrate the low-noise operation of the diffusion-cooled bolometer mixer above 2 THz. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have measured the noise temperature of heterodyne receivers employing Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junction mixers at frequencies ranging from 70% to 93% of the gap frequency of niobium (∼700 GHz). The sensitivity of the receiver is decreased by the overlap of the n=1 and n=2 photon steps of opposite sign. At bias voltages where these photon steps overlap, there is an increase in receiver noise up to 50%. Theoretical calculations using the Tucker theory agree well with the observed mixer performance. This overlap already affects the receiver operation for best performance at frequencies well below 700 GHz. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have measured the effects of dispersion on the resonant mode frequencies of open-ended Nb-SiOx-Nb microstrip transmission lines over a frequency range from 50 to 800 GHz. Submicron Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions were used as both voltage-controlled oscillators and detectors to sample the high order modes of the resonators. The resonator modes are equally spaced up to about 550 GHz where the mode spacing start to decrease gradually to a minimum above the gap frequency fg≈700 GHz and then increases. Results are in good agreement with the expected theoretical behavior based on the Mattis–Bardeen conductivity of the superconductor line.

    Notes: Abstract A heterodyne receiver using an SIS waveguide mixer with two mechanical tuners has been characterized from 480 GHz to 650 GHz. The mixer uses either a single 0.5 × 0.5 µm2 Nb/AlOx/Nb SIS tunnel junction or a series array of two 1 µm2 Nb tunnel junctions. These junctions have a high current density, in the range 8 – 13 kA/cm2. Superconductive RF circuits are employed to tune the junction capacitance. DSB receiver noise temperatures as low as 200 ± 17 K at 540 GHz, 271 K ± 22 K at 572 GHz and 362 ± 33 K at 626 GHz have been obtained with the single SIS junctions. The series arrays gave DSB receiver noise temperatures as low as 328 ± 26 K at 490 GHz and 336 ± 25 K at 545 GHz. A comparison of the performances of series arrays and single junctions is presented. In addition, negative differential resistance has been observed in the DC I–V curve near 490, 545 and 570 GHz. Correlations between the frequencies for minimum noise temperature, negative differential resistance, and tuning circuit resonances are found. A detailed model to calculate the properties of the tuning circuits is discussed, and the junction capacitance as well as the London penetration depth of niobium are determined by fitting the model to the measured circuit resonances.
