Although HIM is highly suitable for imaging and nanometer-scale patterning, there is a need of focused ion beams other than helium or neon with comparable properties. Alternative developments were made using laser-cooled magneto-optical trap ion sources

• . Several papers have been dedicated in the past to the realization of all-NbN-based superconducting tunnel junctions [9][10][11], but a reliable technology generating samples with quality features similar to the ones of all-Nb samples [1][12] has not emerged yet. We have undertaken a systematic study of
