Jr. Kinard et al., PERFORMANCE OF MULTILAYER THIN-FILM MULTIJUNCTION THERMAL CONVERTERS, IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement, 44(2), 1995, pp. 383-386
New multilayer, thin-film multijunction thermal converters (MJTC's) su
itable as high performance ac-dc transfer standards have been fabricat
ed and studied at NIST. This paper describes their thermal and physica
l features and the materials chosen to improve performance. Performanc
e data are given over a wide range of frequencies and conditions.
