Recombination limited energy relaxation in a BCS superconductor
A. V. Timofeev, C. Pascual Garcia, N. B. Kopnin +4
We study quasiparticle energy relaxation at sub-kelvin temperatures by injecting hot electrons into an aluminium island and measuring the energy flux from electrons into phonons bo…
Heat Transistor: Demonstration of Gate-Controlled Electron Refrigeration
Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthias Meschke, Francesco Giazotto +3
We present experiments on a superconductor-normal metal electron refrigerator in a regime where single-electron charging effects are significant. The system functions as a heat tra…
Opportunities for mesoscopics in thermometry and refrigeration: Physics and applications
Francesco Giazotto, Tero T. Heikkila, Arttu Luukanen +2
This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on…
