Precise resistance ratio measurements using a superconducting dc ratio transformer

Abstract
The application of a superconducting dc ratio transformer to precise resistance ratio measurement at temperatures below 2.2 K is described. Resistors of Si–Cu alloy have been tested for stability under thermal cycling and their load coefficient has been measured. The load coefficient measurements lead to a determination of the combined thermal conductance of the wire insulation and Kapitza thermal boundary conductance.
