Superconducting Quantum Interference Device- SQUID
| Return to Research Tool Menu |
Background
SQUID is an extremely sensitive device used to measure the magnetic and paramagnetic properties of materials. It consists of superconductors separated by a parallel Josephson junctions. Introduction of a magnetic or paramagnetic material changes the magnetic flux which in turn changes the frequency of voltage in the circuit.
