Abstract
In this study, the effects of weak links between grains of the ceramic superconductors on the sensitivity of a DC magnetic field sensor were examined. The evolution of 2nd harmonic signal strength, which determines the magnetometer sensitivity, with critical current density Jc was especially analyzed. The Jc values were adjusted by synthesis of Y-123 superconductors at different calcination temperatures. It was observed that the strength of 2f signal increases as the calcination temperature and so, the Jc values increases. This is contrary to the common expectations. Our experiments have shown that the 2f signal changes quite linearly with DC field in a wide dynamic range (10−4 to 10−9T) on the sample calcined at 950°C. The ways of measuring DC fields as low as 1nT are described in the paper.
