Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID)

DESCRIPTION

A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely weak magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions.

The use of use of SQUIDs is as a magnetic property measurement systems (MPMS). measure the magnetic properties of a material sample which typically has a temperature between 300 mK and 400 K.

FEATURES
