Nanowire acting as a superconducting quantum interference device.
We present the results from an experimental study of the magnetotransport of superconducting wires of amorphous indium-oxide having widths in the range 40-120 nm. We find that, below the superconducting transition temperature, the wires exhibit clear, reproducible, oscillations in their resistance as a function of magnetic field. The oscillations are reminiscent of those that underlie the opera...
متن کاملOperation of a superconducting nanowire quantum interference device with mesoscopic leads
A theory describing the operation of a superconducting nanowire quantum interference device NQUID is presented. The device consists of a pair of thin-film superconducting leads connected by a pair of topologically parallel ultranarrow superconducting wires. It exhibits intrinsic electrical resistance, due to thermally activated dissipative fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. At...
متن کاملSuperconducting 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...
متن کاملMicrotesla MRI with a superconducting quantum interference device.
MRI scanners enable fast, noninvasive, and high-resolution imaging of organs and soft tissue. The images are reconstructed from NMR signals generated by nuclear spins that precess in a static magnetic field B0 in the presence of magnetic field gradients. Most clinical MRI scanners operate at a magnetic field B0 = 1.5 T, corresponding to a proton resonance frequency of 64 MHz. Because these syst...
متن کاملScanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope in a dilution refrigerator
We report on a scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope operating at temperatures down to 20 mK in a dilution refrigerator. The instrument is designed for studying quantum mechanical coherence effects in mesoscopic systems and investigating magnetic effects on a mesoscopic length scale in novel materials. We have demonstrated the low-temperature operating capabilities of ...
