  • Abstract
    A silicon-superconductor tunnel junction is capable of cooling electrons from a temperature of 300 mK to 150 mK and below when a current is passed through it and may also be used as the thermometer in a silicon “cold electron bolometer”. Recent work on these novel devices is described here.
