Abstract

The use of a \(\hbox {RuO}_{2}\) resistor in non-isothermal measuring setup is proposed. A calculation is presented to explain the principle for a resistor obeying variable-range-hopping theory and the results are compared to measurements in the range of 11.2–30 mK for a commercial resistor. The thermometer, which measures the electron temperature, does not show overheating effects at 11.2 mK with a measuring power of \(10^{-12}\) W.
