摘要
The ac-dc transfer difference due to thermoelectric effects in a thermal converter was evaluated using a NbN/TiN/NbN Josephson junction array as an ultra-stable fast-reversed dc (FRDC) source. The Josephson junction array was connected in parallel with a conventional semiconductor FRDC current source, as an "add-on" voltage-stabilizer for the input of the thermal converter. The ac-dc difference due to thermoelectric effects was evaluated with a standard measurement (type-A) uncertainty of the order of 0.01 muV/V, four-times better than that with the conventional semiconductor FRDC source.
