Superconducting quantum interference devices with different damped junctions operated in directly coupled current- and voltage-bias modes

We investigate niobium thin film superconducting quantum interference devices （SQUIDs） with different Steward- McCumber parameters βc operated in both current- and voltage-bias modes. We experimentally prove that there is no difference between the two bias modes with respect to the SQUID intrinsic noise and the noise contribution from the preamplifier. Furthermore, the relationships of the SQUID dynamic parameters, （Rd）current bias ≈ （Rd）voltage bias and （σV/σФ）current bias ≈ [σi/σФ）Rd]voltage bias, are always satisfied. For a strongly damped SQUID withβc ≈ 0.25, addi- tional positive feedback （APF） and noise cancellation （NC） were employed to enhance σV/σФ, the former showing a degradation in the linear flux range but otherwise the same with NC. For a weakly damped SQUID with βc ≈ 3, it is di- rectly connected to the preamplifier without APF or NC, and a low SQUID system noise of about 4μФ0/x/Hz is measured, which is close to its intrinsic noise.     

EMD算法在低温超导瞬变电磁噪声抑制中的应用

瞬变电磁信号具有较宽的频谱,为使得超导瞬变电磁信号的接收不产生失真,要求接收信号的超导传感器具有足够高的带宽(100kHz以上),而接收高带宽信号会导致信号的噪声峰峰值变大,传统的滤波(模拟、数字)方法易造成衰减曲线畸变.基于数据驱动的经验模态分解(Empirical Mode Decomposition,EMD)算法能够根据信号本身特性对其进行信号分解和分量选择,具有自适应和不产生波形畸变的特点.本文采用EMD算法分别对数值模拟和野外实测的超导瞬变电磁信号进行EMD滤波处理和分析,结果表明,EMD可以显著压制瞬变电磁信号衰减曲线中的宽频带噪声且波形无畸变.经过EMD滤波的超导瞬变电磁与原始信号相比,信号衰减时间显著延长(从5ms延长至50ms),表明EMD算法能够极大提高瞬变电磁方法对地下深部信息的探测能力.

A SQUID gradiometer module with large junction shunt resistors

A dual-washer superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) with a loop inductance of 350 pH and two onwasher integrated input coils is designed according to conventional niobium technology. In order to obtain a large SQUID flux-to-voltage transfer coefficient, the junction shunt resistance is selected to be 33 ?. A vertical SQUID gradiometer module with a baseline of 100 mm is constructed by utilizing such a SQUID and a first-order niobium wire-wound antenna.The sensitivity of this module reaches about 0.2 fT/(cm·Hz1/2) in the white noise range using a direct readout scheme, i.e.,the SQUID is directly connected to an operational amplifier, in a magnetically shielded room. Some magnetocardiography(MCG) measurements with a sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) are demonstrated.

Baseline optimization of SQUID gradiometer for magnetocardiography

SQUID gradiometer techniques are widely used in noise cancellation for biomagnetic measurements.An appropriate gradiometer baseline is very important for the biomagnetic detection with high performance.By placing several magnetometers at different heights along the vertical direction,we could simultaneously obtain the synthetic gradiometers with different baselines.By using the traditional signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) as a performance index,we successfully obtain an optimal baseline for the magnetocardiography(MCG) measurement in a magnetically shielded room(MSR).Finally,we obtain an optimal baseline of 7 cm and use it for the practical MCG measurement in our MSR.The SNR about 38 dB is obtained in the recorded MCG signal.
