  • Abstract
    A SQUID magnetometer system incorporating a NB-based conventional SQUID operating at 4.8 K was used to measure the magnetic field noise from high-Tc input coils and unpatterned films at 77 K. The system allows for the rapid measurement of relatively large regions of high-Tc material. The results on numerous coils and films show the noise decreasing as a function of increasing film critical current density at 77 K. High-Tc films with Jc(77 K)=3×106 A/cm2 appear suitable for use as input coils in SQUID magnetometer applications requiring low noise at frequencies down to 1 Hz
