Abstract

The transport properties of a YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) based on grooved Dayem bridge weak links are studied as a function of temperature: at high temperatures (60 K<T<Tc=89 K), the weak links show properties similar to superconductor–normal conductor–superconductor junctions, while at temperatures below 60 K, the weak links behave like short Dayem bridges. Using these devices, we have fabricated SQUID magnetometers with galvanically coupled in-plane pickup loops: at T = 77 K, magnetic field white noise levels as low as 63 fT/Hz have been achieved.
