6 Pre-requisite
7 Electronic temperature Non-zero temperature: the energy distribution function f(e) gives the probability for an e - state at the energy E to be occupied. At thermal equilibrium, f is the Fermi-Dirac function: f( E) = 1 1+ exp E E F k B T T > 0 T = 0 f(e) 1 0 4k B T E F At zero temperature, it reduces to a step function.
8 Tunneling of electrons Potential profile a the junction between two metals: U 0 =E F +W 1: Metal A 2: Vacuum 3: Metal B E=E F T exp( 2αd) α = 2mW Order of magnitude: T = exp( d) T is non negligible for d of the order of the Å.
9 A superconductor DOS spectra Modified Density of States (DOS) at the Fermi Level From BCS theory: N S ( E) = 0 if E E F < Δ N S E ( ) = N N E DOS (a.u.) if E E F > Δ ( E E F ) 2 Δ 2 The energy gap is : (T=0) = 1.76k B T c (E-E F )/

S I N = Cu I Cooler I S = Al Nanofab, Institut Néel, CNRS & UJF Al-AlO x -Cu tunnel junctions: high stability and good reproducibility. Al behaves as a perfect BCS superconductor.

35 Other approaches
36 Quantum dot cooling (1) Device = Drain QD «metal» - QD Source QD discrete energy spectrum open gaps, which acts as an energy filter, like the superconductor energy gap.
37 Quantum dot cooling (2) Electronic cooling visible in the current peak assymetry. Cooling from 280 to 190 mk. J. R. Prance, C. G. Smith, J. P. Griffiths, S. J. Chorley, D. Anderson, G. A. C. Jones, I. Farrer and D. A. Ritchie, PRL 102, (2009): Cambridge.
38 Applications
39 Applications (1) Heat current of about 10 pw/µm 2 (= 1 W/m 2 ). Need for highly-transparent and large junctions for a large cooling power: UV litho. and etching. AlMn is a normal metal with a natural barrier similar to Al. A.M. Clark, N. A. Miller, A. Williams, S. T. Ruggiero, G. C. Hilton, L. R. Vale, J. A. Beall, K. D. Irwin, and J. N. Ullom, Appl. Phys. Lett. 84, 625 (2005): NIST Boulder.
40 Applications (2) Relevant for on chip cooling of detectors, quantum devices Membrane technology provides a thermal decoupling to the bath.
41 Applications (3) A NTD bolometer is cooled from 320 mk down to 225 mk.
42 Cooling efficiency Dissipated power (by the bias source) in the superconductor : I.V Cooling power in the normal metal : P cool I( Δ ev) At the optimum bias, thermal qp overcome the gap : Δ ev k B T e Efficiency η = P cool I.V Δ ev Δ T e Δ = 1.76 k B T c ; T c = 1.3 K; T e = 0.1 K η = 4 % Rather low efficiency at low temperature, Energy dissipation in the superconductor is a major issue.
43 Conclusion Why cooling several kilograms while a nanogram (the detector) is enough? Electron and phonon cooling in N-I-S nanojunctions : out of equilibrium effects. Applications based on membrane technology, or use the cooled eletrons population as the sensor. Thanks to: MICROKELVIN ITN Q-NET
