Nanosecond thermometry with Josephson junction
arXiv:1704.04762 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.10.044068
Abstract
We demonstrate a novel approach to thermometry at the nanoscale exploiting a superconducting weak link. Such a weak link probed with nanosecond current pulses serves as a temperature sensing element and, due to the fast inherent dynamics, is capable of delivering unprecedented temporal resolution. We employ the thermometer to measure dynamic temperature of electrons in a long superconducting wire relaxing to the bath temperature after application of the heating pulse. Our measurement delivers nanosecond resolution thus providing the proof-of-concept of the fastest-todate all-solid-state thermometry. Our method improves the state-of-the-art temporal resolution of mesoscopic thermometry by at least two orders of magnitude, extending temporal resolution of existing experiments and introducing new possibilities for ultra-sensitive calorimeters and radiation detectors.
