Development and Applications of the Tunnel Junction DC SQUID.
Abstract
The discussion is divided into three principle areas. Chapters II through VII are concerned with the theory, fabrication, operation, and performance of thin-film tunnel junction dc SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device). Chapters VIII, IX, and X describe the development of a planar dc SQUID and the incorporation of this SQUID into thin-film magnetic field gradiometers. Chapters XI through XIII discuss the application of a cylindrical dc SQUID to the measurement of thermal fluctuations in freely-suspended tin fibers at the superconducting transition.
