Y. Higashino et T. Umezawa, STUDY OF DYBACUO DC-SQUIDS FOR LOW-NOISE AND HIGH-FLUX FOCUSING, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(2), 1995, pp. 2497-2500
We have fabricated DyBaCuO DC SQUIDs by MBE growth on MgO substrates c
ontaining 45 degrees step-edge Josephson junctions, They showed RSJ-li
ke current-Voltage characteristics and periodic modulation of Voltage
aroused by an applied magnetic field at 77K. The flux resolution of th
e 1.9mm square washer SQUID was measured to 3x10(-4) Phi(0)/Hz(1/2) at
1Hz, which corresponds to a magnetic field sensitivity of 14pT/Hz(1/2
). Effective flux capture areas were investigated for varying SQUID si
ze of washer and hole.
