We are glad to welcome Vittorio who, after a master project in our group, is back with us for this year, Gaia a new PhD student at the University of Pisa and Mirko who joined us after his stay at MIT.

Vittorio and Gaia will both work on the T-CONVERSE project, for the realization of temperature-to-phase superconducting photodetectors, while Mirko is going to spend the second year of his EuSuper Marie Curie fellowship working on the realization of europium-based superconducting magnetic RAM.

Welcome again and good work!

Nadia Ligato awarded at “RAITH Micrograph Award 2019”

The winning micrograph: a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor with multi tunnel junctions. The winning micrograph: a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor with multi tunnel junctions.

A new recognition of the SQEL cutting-edge research has been given by Raith Nanofabrication to our researcher Nadia Ligato who won the third prize of the RAITH Micrograph Award 2019!

The micrograph winning the award pictures a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor (SQUIPT), a multi-tunnel junctions device fabricated using electron beam lithography technique and shadow-angle evaporation.

Many compliments to Nadia and stay tuned to not miss new updates about her work!
