The possibility of using high temperature superconductivity effects in gyroscopes
Abstract
The possibility of developing cryogenic gyroscopes using high temperature superconductivity effects is investigated. In particular, the use of superconducting SQUID transducers with high temperature superconducting magnetic shields is examined. Experimental results are presented for 24-mm-diameter, 100 mm long shields made of YBa2Cu3O(7-delta)-Ag and Bi2Ba2Cu2O3 ceramics. It is concluded that, at present, high temperature superconducting shields can only be used in gyroscopes in which magnetic fields do not exceed the critical field of the ceramic used (about 10 Oe).
