Abstract

We have extended the cryogenic cooling method based on tunneling between a superconductor and another metal to the case when both metals are superconducting but when their energy gaps are different; earlier, this method was applied between a superconductor and a normal metal. The electron system of a titanium strip with the superconducting transition temperature T_c2=0.51 K has been cooled from 1.02T_c2 to below 0.7T_c2 by this method, using aluminum as the other superconductor.
