Uniform large transition-edge sensor (TES) arrays are fundamental for the next generation of X-ray space observatories. These arrays are required to achieve an energy resolution $\Delta E$ < 3 eV full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) in the soft…

We have measured diffusion thermopower in a two-dimensional electron gas at low temperature ($T$=40 mK) in the field range 0 $<B<$ 3.4 T, by employing the current heating technique. A Hall bar device is designed for this purpose, which…
Electrons in operating microelectronic semiconductor devices are accelerated by locally varying strong electric field to acquire effective electron temperatures nonuniformly distributing in nanoscales and largely exceeding the temperature…

The electronic properties of superconducting Sn films ($T_c \approx$ 3.8 K) change significantly when reducing the film thickness down to a few nm, in particular close to the percolation threshold. The low-energy electrodynamics of such Sn…
Heat transport in low-dimensional solids can significantly differ from their bulk counterpart due to various size-related effects. This offers rich heat transport phenomena to emerge. However, finding an appropriate thermometry method for…
