Abstract
Provided is a superconducting transition-edge thermal sensor, comprising a superconducting film defining an active area for incidence of quanta thereon, wherein the superconducting film is made of a superconductor exhibiting a charge carrier density below 1013 cm−2 and an electronic heat capacity below 103 kb at the critical temperature Tc of said superconductor, wherein the superconductor is formed by two or more layers of two-dimensional crystals stacked on top of another.
