Abstract
Abstract Stability of a high-temperature superconducting quantum interference device (HTS-SQUID) gradiometer with ramp-edge Josephson junctions against application of magnetic fields was investigated. The gradiometer with a SQUID inductor having a 5-μm-wide line and pickup coils of 0.5x1.5 mm for one side was used. Noise spectra were measured for the gradiometer in zero field after cooled in dc magnetic fields up to 300 μT. no increase in noise level was observed until 95 T, being higher than the earth field. Noise spectra in elevated magnetic fields up to 320 μT were also measured for the gradiometer cooled in zero field. No appreciable increase in noise was observed until 150 μT. By decreasing the applied field from 320 μT to zero, the gradiometer recovered the original low noise level. These results indicated that the examined gradiometer had a good durability against magnetic fields and could be used without a magnetic shield for various applications.
