Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb junctions with controllable critical current density for qubit application

Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions with controllable critical current density Jc are fabricated using the standard selective Nb etching process.Tunnel barriers are formed in different oxygen exposure conditions (oxygen pressure P and oxidation time t),giving rise to Jc ranging from 100 A/cm2 to above 2000 A/cm2.Jc shows a familiar linear dependence on P × t in logarithmic scales.We calculate the energy levels of the phaseand flux-type qubits using the achievable junction parameters and show that the fabricated Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions can be used conveniently for quantum computation applications in the future.     

An Economical Magnetocardiogram System Based on High-To SQUIDs

An economical magnetocardiogram （MCG） system is built in our laboratory. It mainly consists of a MCG data acquisition stage equipped with two high-To superconducting quantum interference device （SQUID） magnetometers, a data processing stage with digital filtering and a one-layer μ-metal magnetically shielded room in conjunction with a high-Tc SQUID based active compensation. Experimental results show that a noise level of pico-tesla in MCG profiles, which is necessary for clinical applications, may be achieved with the system. Moreover, stable and convenient operations of the system are demonstrated with simulating MCG measurements.     

层状耦合约瑟夫森双结中的孤子解

基于Sakai-Bodin-Petersen理论,我们求解了对称的双约瑟夫森结的耦合非线性方程组.结果表明,线性化方程组的同相和反相解所对应的两种磁通运动模式也存在于原始的非线性方程组的解中,同时非线性方程组独有的位相锁定的扭折(kinks)形式的磁通运动在低能情况下会演化为孤子解.

A digital filtering scheme for SQUID based magnetocardiography

Considering the properties of slow change and quasi-periodicity of magnetocardiography （MCG） signal, we use an integrated technique of adaptive and low-pass filtering in dealing with two-channel MCG data measured by high Tc SQUIDs. The adaptive filter in the time domain is based on a noise feedback normalized least-mean-square （NLMS） algorithm, and the low-pass filter with a cutoff at 100Hz in the frequeucy domain characterized by Caussian functions is combined with a notch at the power line frequency. In this way, both relevant and irrelevant noises in original MCG data are largely eliminated. The method may also be useful for other slowly varying quasi-periodical signals.

A scanning superconducting quantum interfecrence device microscope for room temperature samples

We have constructed a scanning low-T_c superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope, in which the SQUID is mounted on the lower end of a copper rod and cooled to liquid helium temperature. There is a 65μm thick sapphire window under the SQUID. The sample at room temperature underneath the window can be scanned to produce magnetic images. The microscope has a spatial resolution of 100－150μm and a magnetic field sensitivity of 3－60pT/\sqrt{Hz} in a magnetically unshielded environment. We have used this scanning SQUID microscope to measure various room temperature samples.
