Abstract
Simple and reliable relaxation-oscillation-driven dc SQUIDs have been fabricated with flux-to-voltage transfer factor H =∣ δV/ δϕe∣ up to 1 mV/ϕ0 and internal energy sensitivity Ev = (4 ± 1)x10-31 J/Hz at frequencies above about 10 Hz, and 1x10-29(1 Hz/f) J/Hz at lower frequencies. Supplied with the 50-μm-wire 20-turn spiral input Coil and 6 cm2 pick-up loop, such SQUIDs provided magnetic field sensitivity close to (6 ± 3)x10-15 T/Hz1/2 above 10 Hz. The dynamic range of the magnetometers was close to 1.5x107 Hz1/2 and the maximum slew rate, about 10 µT/s at 0.1 kHz. Successful records of the Earth-ionosphere magnetic resonances have been obtained with these magnetometers housed in a stainless steel transport dewar. A new balanced version of the RO-driven dc SQUID has been suggested with the aim to improve both H and Ev. An analysis and the first measurements have shown a noticeable increase of H with respect to the basic version of the device.
