Abstract
A high T c SQUID has been developed and is going to be commercialized soon. It features low cost operation with liquid nitrogen coolant and easy operation. Therefore the high T c SQUID becomes more useful for us than a low T c SQUID operating with liquid helium. The high T c SQUID was firstly commercialized by Conductus in California. This was a very pioneer work. Four companies in the US, five companies in Europe and Sumitomo Electric in Japan are now selling it commercially. These commercial SQUIDs are small equipments used for application research in laboratories. Applications are medical diagnosis, nondestructive testing, biomagnetic analysis, geological survey and so on. The high T c SQUID is a frontier of superconductor electronics. Active research in the development of high T c SQUID is being conducted worldwide and its commercialization is expected soon.
