Coulomb blockade thermometry.

Author(s) : HIRVI K. P., KAUPPINEN J. P., KOROTKOV A. N., PAALANEN M. A., PEKOLA J. P.

Summary

One-dimensional arrays of normal metal tunnel junctions have been found to exhibit properties which are very suitable for primary and secondary thermometry in a lithographically adjustable temperature range which extends over about two decades. The thermometer is remarkably insensitive to nonuniformities in the actual pattern and to even strong magnetic fields. The authors also discuss the behaviour of this device at very low temperatures where the hot electron effect due to poor electron phonon coupling ultimately takes over and at very high temperatures where the finite tunnel barrier effects appear.
