An NMR spectrometer has been constructed based on a DC SQUID with additiona
l positive feedback, operating in flux locked loop mode, The system has an
overall bandwidth of 3MHz and a coupled energy sensitivity of 800h. The spe
ctrometer is being used to study high-quality single-crystal samples of UPt
3, in order to investigate the superconducting order parameter. NMR signals
have been observed in the superconducting mixed state at significantly low
er frequencies than hitherto, down to 100 kHz. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevi
