Abstract

We briefly review the principles of a magnetic microcalorimeter x-ray detector and the requirements for fabricating an array of such sensors, which include a paramagnetic sensor fabricated with thin-film techniques. We discuss two methods for depositing an Er-doped Au sensor film and present magnetization measurements from 4to300K in 5T and near the detector’s operating temperature and field. The properties of the deposited films that we have studied to date deviate from the expected behavior of bulk materials.
