Abstract: | A program has been developed and initiated at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) for the utilization of
SQUID sensors in various application areas. DC SQUID sensors based on Nb-AlO
x
-Nb Josephson junctions have been designed and developed inhouse along with associated flux-locked loop (FLL) electronics.
A compact low field SQUID magnetometer insertible in a liquid helium storage dewar has also been developed inhouse and is
in use. Efforts to build a high field SQUID magnetometer, SQUID-DAC system, are in progress. A planar gradiometric DC SQUID
sensor for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) application to be used in relatively unshielded environment has been designed
and developed. An easily portable NDE cryostat with a small lift-off distance, to be used in external locations has been designed
and tested. The magnetic field produced by a given two-dimensional current density distribution is inverted using the Fourier
transform technique. |
