The specific heat exhibits a Schottky-like anomaly, characterized by an initial rise with increasing temperature, reaching a maximum, followed by a subsequent decline. Enhanced magnetic fields induce a shift in the peak temperature while maintaining a consistent peak magnitude (~ 0.44 J/K). The magnetocaloric potential exhibits a monotonic increase with magnetic field intensity, converging to a saturation value of − 0.7 J/(kg⋅K) at elevated temperatures, where thermal fluctuations dominate.

Experimental results suggested that the thermal relaxation time in the sinter pad is very short (less than 1 s), while the exact value was not determined. In order to verify its relation to the circulation rate, we performed numerical simulations of the thermal relaxation time. The expected monotonic increase with decrease of temperature has been confirmed down to 50 mK. However, at lower temperatures unexpected decrease is found. This unusual behavior is considered due to relatively small thermal resistance of liquid helium compared with the thermal boundary resistance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Temperature Physics","volume":"220 1-2","pages":"149 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145168554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Almost all of the existing sensitive radiation thermal absorption thin films for the generation of TESs are usually generated by optimizing the material components of the films. Alternatively, in this paper we experimentally demonstrated a flexible and controllable approach to generate the temperature-sensitive superconducting one-component thin film, by using the laser drilling technique. Specifically, we designed the sample by numerical simulation method, fabricated the aluminum (Al) thin film with the optimized pore parameters, and experimentally measured the temperature-dependent resistances in ultra-low thermal noise environments. The measured results indicate that, the resistances of the fabricated porous Al films are highly temperature-sensitive around their superconducting transition-edge regimes, and thus they can be utilized to make the desired TES devices.
