Definitions
- the invention relates to an rf-SQUID consisting of a superconducting ring having a Joseph ⁇ on element with an electrical resonant circuit coupled to it and formed by a superconducting microwave resonator.
- a SQUID is a sensor for measuring magnetic flux.
- a SQUID is coupled to a flux transformer for measuring a magnetic field, which converts a magnetic field into a flux.
- a conventional flux transformer consists of a so-called pickup coil for field / flux conversion and a coupling coil for forwarding the flux to the SQUID.
- Such a structure is called a SQUID magnetometer.
- a measure of the functionality of a SQUID magnetometer is the field sensitivity.
- an rf-SQUID magnetometer To operate an rf-SQUID magnetometer, it is generally coupled to an electrical resonant circuit, also called a tank circuit, in which a high-frequency current with the resonance frequency of the tank circuit is fed.
- the SQUID dampens that Tank circuit, the size of the damping being dependent on the magnetic flow through the superconducting ring. This changes the voltage drop across the tank circuit, which is used to read the SQUID.
- An LT C -RF-SQUID with an integrated microwave resonator is known from EP 04 18 848 A2.
- the superconducting ring and the tank circuit are formed from one component.
- the tank circuit consists of a strip line.
- the electrical length of the stripline corresponds to half the wavelength X of the operating frequency and thus forms a ⁇ / 2 microwave resonator.
- the strip resonator is capacitively connected to an evaluation electronics.
- the SQUID is arranged symmetrically relative to the stripline. Furthermore, this symmetry ensures that the SQUID is thus at a point of maximum current flow, which ensures a sufficiently good coupling between the resonator and the SQUID.
- Such a structure is according to Appl. Phys. Lett. 60 (18), p.2303, 1992 made from high temperature superconducting materials.
- the object is achieved by an rf-SQUID in accordance with the features of claim 1.
- the closed line can have any geometry. For example, this is realized by a ring-like or oval shape.
- the structure can be produced from a single, high-temperature superconducting layer. SQUID ring and closed line are then formed from strip lines.
- the closed line not only functions as a resonator but also as a pickup coil. Compared to the construction with the X / 2 resonator, this increases the collection of the magnetic flux considerably.
- the resonance frequency that forms standing waves in the resonator is to be fed in in a known manner by means of a capacitive coupling. With an initially arbitrary length of the resonator, this can be done by searching for or setting a resonance frequency. However, if a certain frequency is to be used, the resonator must be designed so that its electrical length corresponds to one or more times the wavelength of the operating frequency. As is known, the SQUID is advantageously to be arranged at a point of maximum current flow.
- the Josephsen element is advantageously arranged outside the closed conductor track. This is achieved I Q by two branches from the closed conductor, the ends of which are brought together so that they form the Josephson element. This further increases field sensitivity.
- the closed line is expediently designed as a ring. In this way, the enclosed area and thus the magnetic flux collected is maximized.
- SQUID and conductor track are advantageously produced from a YBa 2C u3 ⁇ 7 _ ⁇ layer.
- the SQUID with integrated / - microwave resonator is shown schematically in the figures and is explained in more detail below:
- 1 shows a schematic representation of the closed line with SQUID.
- Fig. 3 Coupling the SQUIDS to the line (enlarged view).
- the closed line 1 is designed as a ring.
- the RF-SQUID 2 is coupled to this.
- the Josephson element 5 of the SQUID 2 is integrated in the line 1.
- Microwave resonator consists of a closed line, formed as a strip line 1 and a coupled thereto SQUID 2.
- Her ⁇ tellungs convinced, the closed line 1 indentations.
- the SQUID 2 is located within such an indentation.
- Fig. 2 lengths are given in mm.
- the resonator dimensioned in this way has a resonance frequency of 3 GHz.
- the capacitive coupling takes place a quarter of a track away from the coupling point of the SQUID, i.e. on a straight section of the line.
- the SQUID is thus at a point of maximum current flow.
- FIG. 3 shows an enlarged section of the coupling point from FIG. 2. This section is marked by a circle 3 in FIG. 2.
- Two lines 4 branch off from line 1.
- the ends of the two branching lines 4 form a Josephson element 5.
- the resulting ring, which has the Josephson element 5, represents the SQUID 2, the Josephson element 5 being located outside the conductor track 1.
