چکیده

Between 2010 and 2011, the author’s group developed a practical SQUID system applicable to minerals exploration under the development of the next generation SQUITEM equipment and SQUID magnetometers, commissioned by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC). With the successful completion of final tests in Australia, a practically designed SQUID system developed for electromagnetic exploration has been delivered to JOGMEC. This project was a joint development between ISTEC, who led the development of a magnetometer comprising of a SQUID sensor, and Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd., who was responsible for fabricating the receiving apparatus.

Superconducting quantum interference device instruments and applications

Superconducting quantum interference devices SQUIDs have been a key factor in the development and commercialization of ultrasensitive electric and magnetic measurement systems. In many cases, SQUID instrumentation offers the ability to make measurements where no other methodology is possible. We review the main aspects of designing, fabricating, and operating a number of SQUID measurement syste...

Identification of different species of squids in Oman Sea (Iranian waters)

Identification of different species of oceanic and neritic squids in Iranian waters of Oman Sea was carried out from December 1996 to February 1997. The trawl surveys were conducted during a 12-months period. Fishing was also undertaken by Mid-water and bottom trawl for species confirmation purposes in deep (200-350m) and shallow (0-100m) waters to collect enough specimens that could be used fo...

SQUID Systems for Geophysical Time Domain Electromagnetics (TEM) at IPHT Jena

Forty years after the first application of Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) [1], [2] for geophysical purposes, they have recently become a valued tool for mineral exploration. One of the most common applications is time domain (or transient) electromagnetics (TEM), an active method, where the inductive response from the ground to a changing current (mostly rectangular) in a...

Development and Applications of SQUIDs in Korea

As sensitive magnetic sensors, magnetometers based on superconducting quantum interference devices can be used for the detection of weak magnetic fields. These signals can be generated by diverse origins, for example, brain electric activity, myocardium electric activity, and nuclear precession of hydrogen protons. In addition, weak current induced in the low-temperature detectors, for example,...
