An. Aleshin et al., DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A CRYOGENIC BOLOMETER WITH A THIN-FILM SEMICONDUCTING HEAT SENSOR, Journal of optical technology, 61(5), 1994, pp. 388-390
The device is described and results are presented of a study of cryoge
nic bolometers with isolated target in which Ge1-xCux films are used a
s the heat sensing elements. The thermometric properties and noise cha
racteristics of thin-film heat sensors are estimated and compared with
those of single-crystal sensors. A weak magnetic sensitivity of thin-
film heat sensors is observed.
