SQUID Readout Electronics and Magnetometric Systems for Practical Applications - Xiaoming Xie Hui Dong Guofeng Zhang Yi Zhang Hans-Joachim Krause Gebunden

SQUIDs short for superconducting quantum interference devices are very sensitive magnetometers used to measure extremely subtle magnetic fields based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions. SQUIDs are developing more and more into an enabling technology for many applications such as biomagnetic imaging and geophysical prospecting.This book builds a bridge for scientists and engineers to fill potential know-how gaps for all working on SQUID systems and their practical applications. Key words such as readout electronics flux quantization Josephson effects or noise contribut ions will be no obstacle for the design and application of simple and robust SQUID systems.
