Complex inductance, excess noise, and surface magnetism in dc SQUIDs.

چکیده
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 are interpreted in terms of the reconfiguration of clusters of surface spins, with correlated fluctuations of effective magnetic moments and relaxation times.

Dc - Squid Sensor System for Multichannel Neuromagnetometry
Various DC-SQUID sensor configurations were developed for use in our 19-channel neuromagnetometer. Apart from the standard type, resistively and inductively shunted SQUIDs were made, allowing for a large screening factor p (>l). In this way signal coupling from the pick-up coil to the SQUID is facilitated and capacitive coupling between the input coil and the SQUID washer can be decreased. The ...
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 کاملComparison of Ising spin glass noise to flux and inductance noise in SQUIDs.
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 s...
متن کاملIsing-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...

By defining the loop inductance for NQUID and considering sinusoidal Fourier series for the current-phase relations of its nanowires and replacing two Langevin equations with one two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation, we have obtained analytical relations for the characteristics of the asymmetric NQUID. On the other hand for DC SQUIDs and nanoSQUID, we have to consider simultaneously the effe...
