A superconducting switch actuated by injection of high-energy electrons

A superconducting switch actuated by injection of high-energy electrons

A recent finding of tuning critical current in metallic nanowires by application of small gate voltages seems at odds with general understanding. Here, Ritter et al. study similar nanowires and link the origin of the critical current suppression to tunneling of few high-energy electrons between gate...
