We present results on ultra low noise YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) nano Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUIDs). To realize such devices, we implemented high quality YBCO nanowires, working as weak links between two electrodes. We observe critical current modulation as a function of an externally applied magnetic field in the full temperature range below the transition temperature TC. The white flux noise below 1μΦ0/Hz at T=8 K makes our nanoSQUIDs very attractive for the detection of small spin systems. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract

We present results on ultra low noise YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) nano Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUIDs). To realize such devices, we implemented high quality YBCO nanowires, working as weak links between two electrodes. We observe critical current modulation as a function of an externally applied magnetic field in the full temperature range below the transition temperature TC. The white flux noise below 1μΦ0/Hz at T=8 K makes our nanoSQUIDs very attractive for the detection of small spin systems. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
