Abstract

We present an improved nuclear refrigerator reaching 0.3 mK, aimed at microkelvin nanoelectronicexperiments, and use it to investigate metallic Coulomb blockade thermometers (CBTs) with variousresistances R. The high-R devices cool to slightly lower T, consistent with better isolationfrom the noise environment, and exhibit electron-phonon cooling ∝T^5 and a residual heat-leak of40 aW. In contrast, the low-R CBTs display cooling with a clearly weaker T-dependence, deviatingfrom the electron-phonon mechanism. The CBTs agree excellently with the refrigerator temperatureabove 20 mK and reach a minimum-T of 7.5 ± 0.2 mK.
