Abstract

Pt-SiO2 granular metal films were produced by RF diode sputtering and characterized as thermistors for cryogenic temperature measurements at high magnetic fields. The devices were found to have high sensitivity and small magnetoresistance. This, together with ease of fabrication and stability, makes such thermistor useful candidates for cryogenic thermometry.
