Superconducting nanowire quantum interference device based on Nb ultrathin films deposited on self-assembled porous Si templates

“…Properties of superconducting nanoparticles and nanowires (NWs) [1][2][3][4] are only two examples of how rich the physics revealed by these systems can be. In particular, in the last years transport properties of superconducting NWs have been intensively investigated both to address fundamental issues [3][4][5], as well as to find new applications in superconducting electronics [6][7][8][9]. Similarly, superconducting nanowires in a Dayem bridge configuration and, in general, multiply-connected nanowire arrays may be the core of superconducting devices working as magnetometers and radiation detectors [10][11][12][13].…”
