We demonstrate cooling of an x-ray transition-edge sensor (TES) using solid-state refrigerators based on normal-metal/insulator/superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions. We are …
The responsivity and noise of a voltage-biased superconducting transition-edge sensor depends strongly on the details of its thermal model, and the simplest theory for TES …
