Abstract
In this work we explore a technical path to defining the normaltosuperconducting transition profile of a superconducting transition edge sensor TES using normal metal stripes on surface The stripes modify the TES transition through the lateral proximity effect We experimentally demonstrate that varying the width thickness and spacing of the normal metal stripes alters the TES resistive transition profile as a function of temperature and currentThe work at Argonne National Laboratory including the use of facility at the Center for Nanoscale Materials CNM was supported by Office of Science and Office of Basic Energy Sciences of the US Department of Energy under Contract No DEAC0206CH11357 The work at the University of Chicago is supported by the NSF through Grant ANT0638937 and the NSF Physics Frontier Center Grant PHY1125897 It also receives generous support from the Kavli Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
