| contents | We present two variants of a magnetic microcalorimeter with paramagnetic temperature sensors and integrated dc-SQUID readout for high-resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy. Each variant employs two overhanging gold absorbers with a sensitive area of 150$μ$m x 150$μ$m and a thickness of 3$μ$m, thus providing a quantum efficiency of 98% for photons up to 5keV and 50% for photons up to 10keV. The first variant turned out to be fully operational, but, at the same time, to suffer from Joule power dissipation of the Josephson junction shunt resistors, athermal phonon loss, and slew rate limitations of the overall setup. Overall, it only achieved an energy resolution $ΔE_\mathrm{FWHM} = 8.9eV$. In the second variant, we introduced an innovative `tetrapod absorber geometry' as well as a membrane-technique for protecting the temperature sensors against the power dissipation of the shunt resistors. By this, the second variant achieves an outstanding energy resolution of $ΔE_\mathrm{FWHM} =1.25(18)eV$ and hence provides, to our knowledge, the present best energy resolving power $E/ΔE_\mathrm{FWHM}$ among all existing energy-dispersive detectors for soft and tender X-rays. |
