N2 - This review describes unique thermal properties of mesoscopic structures with sizes between atomic and macroscopic scales, and how they can be applied to thermometry, refrigeration, and thermal detection. The emphasis is on low temperatures where physical phenomena on mesoscopic length scales in conjunction with hybrid combinations of superconductors, insulators, normal metals, and doped semiconductors create opportunities for a rich variety of novel device concepts.
