The thin film bi-layer fabrication details are discussed as well as application in condensed matter physics. These include: measurement of quasi-adiabatic latent heat of superconducting transition, cobalt thermometry and photon detection.enTransition Edge SensorsLatent Heat of Superconducting TransitionMaster ThesisPhysics
