Comparison of Ising spin glass noise to flux and inductance noise in SQUIDs.

چکیده
Recent experiments implicate spins on the surface of metals as the source of flux and inductance noise in SQUIDs. We present Monte Carlo simulations of 2D and 3D Ising spin glasses that produce magnetization noise S(M) consistent with flux noise. At low frequencies S(M) is a maximum at the critical temperature T(C) in three dimensions, implying that flux noise should be a maximum at T(C). The second spectra of the magnetization noise and the noise in the susceptibility are consistent with experimentally measured SQUID inductance noise.

Ising-Glauber spin cluster model for temperature-dependent magnetization noise in SQUIDs.
Clusters of interacting two-level-systems, likely due to Farbe+(F(+)) centers at the metal-insulator interface, are shown to self-consistently lead to 1/f(α) magnetization noise [with α(T)≲1] in SQUIDs. Model calculations, based on a new method of obtaining correlation functions, explains various puzzling experimental features. It is shown why the inductance noise is inherently temperature depe...
متن کاملComplex inductance, excess noise, and surface magnetism in dc SQUIDs.
We have characterized the complex inductance of dc SQUIDs cooled to millikelvin temperatures. The SQUID inductance displays a rich, history-dependent structure as a function of temperature, with fluctuations of order 1 fH. At a fixed temperature, the SQUID inductance fluctuates with a 1/f power spectrum; the inductance noise is highly correlated with the conventional 1/f flux noise. The data ar...
متن کاملCandidate Source of Flux Noise in SQUIDs: Adsorbed Oxygen Molecules.
A major obstacle to using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) as qubits is flux noise. We propose that the heretofore mysterious spins producing flux noise could be O_{2} molecules adsorbed on the surface. Using density functional theory calculations, we find that an O_{2} molecule adsorbed on an α-alumina surface has a magnetic moment of ~1.8 μ_{B}. The spin is oriented perpe...
متن کاملMagnetism in SQUIDs at millikelvin temperatures.
We have characterized the temperature dependence of the flux threading dc SQUIDs cooled to millikelvin temperatures. The flux increases as 1/T as temperature is lowered; moreover, the flux change is proportional to the density of trapped vortices. The data are compatible with the thermal polarization of surface spins in the trapped fields of the vortices. In the absence of trapped flux, we obse...
متن کاملMeasurement and noise performance of nano
Science and industry demand ever more sensitive measurements on ever smaller systems, as exemplified by spintronics, nanoelectromechanical system, and spin-based quantum information processing, where single electronic spin detection poses a grand challenge. Superconducting quantum interference devices SQUIDs have yet to be effectively applied to nanoscale measurements. Here, we show that a simp...
