Abstract
We have fabricated a high-T/sub c/ electronic planar gradiometer composed of dc SQUIDs on a 10 mm /spl times/ 10 mm SrTiO/sub 3/ bicrystal substrate. The SQUIDs were patterned in a single-layer YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// thin film which is prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The outputs of the magnetometers are added and subtracted by analog electronic circuits to form the gradiometer. These magnetometers could be used to construct two sets electronic planar first-order gradiometers or an electronic planar second-order gradiometer, which could measure the elements /spl part/B/sub z///spl part/x and /spl part/B/sub z///spl part/y or /spl part//sup 2/B/sub z///spl part/x/spl part/y, respectively. The noise spectra of each magnetometer and a first-order electronic planar gradiometer were measured.
