The workshop “Cryoelectronic Devices” (KRYO) has been bringing together scientists and engineers from Germany for more than 40 years to discuss the latest developments in the fields of superconducting electronics and devices, cryogenic detectors, cryogenics, and related applications. This year’s workshop was hosted by the Institute for Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems (IMS) in Bad Herrenalb. Initially, 56 participants received four introductory lectures from renowned representatives of the field, followed by three days of intensive discussions on 16 presentations and 16 poster contributions from the participants. Social hours in the evenings rounded off the workshop. All participants agreed that the workshop was a great success and look forward to coming together again next year.
Six doctoral students from KIT express their heartfelt thanks to the KIT Center KCETA for financial support, which enabled them to participate in the workshop as young scientists.
Researchers at the Institute of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems have recently presented a novel concept for a superconducting microcalorimeter that is particularly suitable for high-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy. The corresponding work was published in Applied Physics Letter. Further information and the actual publication can be found here.
