54. Superconducting bolometers, for instance, have been shown to provide sensitive direct detectors for infrared and millimeter waves [J. Mees, M. Nahum, and P. L. Richards, Appl. Phys. Lett. APPLAB 0003-6951 10.1063/1.106059 59, 2329 (1991)], and their design and optimization requirements appear compatible with those of nanojunctions.

56. The problem of heat transfer to the electrodes as a result of vibrational excitation of molecular modes is addressed, e. g., in Y.-C. Chen, M. Zwolak, and M. Di Ventra, Nano Lett. NALEFD 1530-6984 10.1021/nl0348544 3, 1691 (2003);
