Abstract

We examine theoretically thermoelectric detector pixel design comprised of SiO2/ BSCCO/CeB6/ BSCCO/Al2O3 for 0.8 eV–1 keV photon energy range. We study heat transfer and show that our configuration is capable of providing a gigahertz count rate and high detection efficiency at the single-photon level at 9K. Then we examine the influence of possible noise channels and discuss pathways for creating a fast single-photon detector operating at LN temperatures.
