Ac-dc Difference at Cryogenic Temperatures

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Thomas E. Lipe Jr., Joseph R. Kinard Jr., Carl D. Reintsema
We are continuing the development of a new primary standard for ac-dc difference that utilizes a superconducting resistive transition-edge device as the sensor. The most recent improvements to the Cryogenic Thermal Transfer Standard (CTTS) include on-chip
