Abstract

Ultrathin microstrips based on polycrystalline NbRe films were investigated in order to preliminarily test the suitability of this material for the realization of superconducting single-photon detectors. The voltage-current characteristics measured on these samples show clear hysteresis. This is a fundamental ingredient for investigating single-photon detection as well as single vortex fluctuation phenomena in 2D NbRe-based devices.
