چکیده
The scanning SQUID microscope (SSM) is a powerful tool for imaging magnetic fields above sample surfaces. It has the advantage of high sensitivity and bandwidth and the disadvantages of relatively modest spatial resolution and the requirement of a cooled SQUID sensor. We describe the various implementations of this type of instrument and discuss a number of applications, including magnetic imaging of short circuits in integrated circuits, corrosion currents in aluminum, and trapped flux in superconductors.

Optimal SQUID based non-destructive test for detecting sub-surface defects with the help of advanced SQUID superconducting sensors and an experimental approach for optimal production method of these sensors from the YBCO superconductor materials
The conventional eddy current method for non-destructive inspection of welding joints has limitations that can examine defects to a certain depth below the surface of the sample and is not suitable for determining deep defects. This limitation can be overcome using the SQUID superconducting sensors. The nonstoichiometric composition of YBCO due to its superconducting temperature and desired cri...

متن کاملPhosphorylation and subunit organization of axonal neurofilaments determined by scanning transmission electron microscopy.
Phosphorylation plays a critical role in controlling the function of cytoskeletal assemblies but no direct method yet exists to measure the phosphorylation state of proteins at the level of individual molecules and assemblies. Herein, we apply scanning transmission electron microscopy in combination with electron energy loss spectroscopy to measure the distributions of mass and phosphorus in ne...
متن کاملNew Approach of Laser-SQUID Microscopy to LSI Failure Analysis
We have proposed and successfully demonstrated a two step method for localizing defects on an LSI chip. The first step is the same as a conventional laser-SQUID (L-SQUID) imaging where a SQUID and a laser beam are fixed during LSI chip scanning. The second step is a new L-SQUID imaging where a laser beam is stayed at the point, located in the first step results, during SQUID scanning. In the se...
متن کاملRoom Temperature Ferromagnetic Mn:Ge(001)
We report the synthesis of a room temperature ferromagnetic Mn-Ge system obtained by simple deposition of manganese on Ge(001), heated at relatively high temperature (starting with 250 °C). The samples were characterized by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)...
