Scientific paper

The absorption of a photon of a wavelength λ (nm) in a superconductor is followed by a series of fast processes which involve the breaking of Cooper pairs by energetic phonons created by the hot electrons produced as the atom relaxes after the initial photoabsorption. The result of this cascade essentially is that the photons' energy is converted into a population of free charge carriers known as...
