Abstract
The effect of the Fermi-Dirac distribution on the current through standard planar tunnel junctions is a suitable basis for thermometry in a wide tempe rature range. In particular, it extends the range spanned by Coulomb-blocka de thermometers up to room temperature. (C) 2000 American Institute of Phys ics. [S0003-6951(00)01444-3].
