High Tc SQUIDs for Unshielded Measuring in Disturbed Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directly coupled dc SQUID gradiometers on the basis of YBqCu,O, for unshielded NDE measurements are investigated. The influence of different SQUID layout parameters on the field sensitivity is shown. A sensitivity of 500 ffl(crn.JHz) is achieved with a baseline of 3.6 mrn. A slit in an aluminium plate was detected in an demonstration of NDE in 1 cm depth with eddy current method.

Superconducting Quantum Interference Device: The Most Sensitive Detector of Magnetic Flux
SQUIDs are the most sensitive devices in detecting the magnetic flux. The devices have been used to detect small magnetic field, current, voltage, inductance and magnetic susceptibility etc. In this work, we reported studies and applications of high-Tc YBa2Cu3Oy SQUIDs. Two main techniques of depositing YBCO thin films are described; the characteristic of thin film and high-Tc SQUID are address...
متن کاملLong-time stable HTSC DC-SQUID gradiometers with sil- icon dioxide passivation for measurements with supercon- ducting flux transformers
In applications for high-Tc superconducting DC-SQUIDs such as biomagnetism, nondestructive evaluation and the relaxation of magnetic nanoparticles, it is important to maintain reliable sensor performance over an extended time period. We designed and produced DC-SQUID gradiometers based on YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) thin films which are inductively coupled to a flux transformer to achieve a higher sensi...
متن کاملJunction Characteristics and Magnetic Field Dependencies of Low Noise Step Edge Junction Rf-SQUIDs for Unshielded Applications
Step edge grain boundary (GB) junctions and rfSQUIDs have been made using pulsed laser deposited Y-Ba-Cu-O films on crystalline LaAlO3 substrates. The steps were developed using various ion-beam etching processes resulting in sharp and ramp type step structures. Sharp step based GB junctions showed behavior of serial junctions with resistively shunted junction (RSJ)-like characteristics. The ra...

The dc characteristics and magnetic field dependences of Y–Ba–Cu–O bicrystal grain boundary junctions (BGBJs) and step edge junctions (SEJs) were investigated for fabrication of rf-SQUIDs. Test junctions with up to 8 μm widths as well as the junctions of the two types of junction-based rf-SQUID were studied. The SEJs typically showed lower Jc and higher ρN as compared to the BGBJs, resulting in...
متن کاملOn Transmission Line Resonances in High TC dc SQUIDs
In this paper, we study transmission line resonances in high TC dc SQUIDs. These resonances are exhibited in the characteristics of SQUIDs which are fabricated on substrates with high dielectric constant, such as strontium titanate. The power balance equation is analytically derived both for symmetric and asymmetric SQUIDs. Using this, we investigate SQUID current voltage I(V ), voltage flux V ...
