Optical range plasmonics around the superconducting transition temperature of niobium metamaterial
Optical range plasmonics around the superconducting transition temperature of niobium metamaterial
 
  By measuring the reflectivity of a nanostructured niobium film, we demonstrate a critical dependence of niobium’s optical response on its superconducting transition temperature around 9K. Our results suggest a hitherto unknown link between superconductivity and optical range plasmonics.
