Abstract
Planar niobium nitride (NbN) dc superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) magnetometers were developed based on high-quality epitaxial NbN/AlN/NbN Josephson junctions for SQUID applications at higher operating temperatures. To improve the design of NbN dc SQUIDs, we measured the SQUID washer's inductance, which is a key SQUID parameter. A set of NbN dc SQUIDs with washers with different dimensions were implemented. The washer inductances were obtained from the periodic flux variation in the SQUIDs when a control current was injected directly into the SQUID washers; the results agree well with the ones calculated with a numerical simulation in InductEX software. We obtained an empirical expression to estimate the NbN SQUID inductance with washers with different geometric structures. Our results will be useful for designing NbN dc SQUID magnetometers in future.
