| Popis: | We present the first measurements on the proposed magnetically-tuned superconducting transition-edge sensor and compare the modified resistive transition with the theoretical prediction (Sadleir et al., IEEE Trans App Supercond 23:2101405, 2013). A TES’s resistive transition is customarily characterized in terms of the unitless device parameters $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ corresponding to the resistive response to changes in temperature and current respectively. We present a new relationship between measured IV quantities (sensor current $$I$$ and voltage $$V$$ ) and the parameters $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ and use these relations to confirm we have stably biased a TES with negative $$\beta $$ parameter with magnetic tuning. Motivated by access to this new unexplored parameter space, we investigate the conditions for bias stability of a TES taking into account both self and externally applied magnetic fields. |
