Abstract
We developed a high-Tc superconducting (HTS) three-channel Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) array and applied it to the measurement of a flow of magnetic nano-particles (MNPs).Three magnetometers were positioned in-line with a separation of 2.3 mm. The pick-up loop consisted of a 1 mm × 1 mm square loop; the size of a SQUID washer slit was 5 μm × 60 μm. Using this array, we arranged a hexagonal pseudo seven-channel SQUID array. The signal from the water-diluted MNPs, Resovist, in motion was measured by the array in a DC bias magnetic field and an AC modulation magnetic field. The dependence of the SQUID signal on the angle of the MNP flow to the baseline of the array was measured and discussed. The results suggest that the signal peak values are highly dependent on the flow path angle and that most of the flow path can be identified by the shape of the waveforms. This method is a promising candidate for brain activity investigation of small animals.
