Abstract

The application of an overcritical current pulse I > I_c(T) to narrow YBa₂Cu₃O₇ strips generates a phase-slip center after a certain delay time t_d. By analyzing this function t_d(I/I_c) through a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, one can extract the time of heat escape τ_esc from the film to the substrate. The parameter τ_esc was found to remain constant in the range from 5 to 40 K, but to increase notably above 40 K and up to T_c. We interpret this behavior as a manifestation of a Kapitza heat transfer by acoustic phonon radiation. The loss of transmissivity at higher temperatures is likely related to the rise of phonon-phonon decay processes.
