Improvements on “Low-temperature dielectric bolometer”

Abstract
This paper corrects a definitional error in the previous paper on this topic and reports a considerably better dielectric material for this type of detector (i.e., d I n ε/d T values as large as 30% K-1 in the range 0.3 to 10 K). Computed responsivity (times the square root of the detector area) based on this material varies from 6 × 106 to 2 × 104 V⋅W-1 cm for reservoir temperatures between 0.3 and 10 K. The corresponding variation of the detectivity is from 2 × 1014 to 1 × 1011 cm ⋅ W-1 ⋅ Hz½.
