摘要
We have designed and operated a magnetic flux microscope which measures the magnetic field above a sample surface by scanning a 4.2 K thin-film dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) along one direction. With the SQUID and sample separated by about 160-mu-m, the system can image features with a spatial resolution of about 220-mu-m and a magnetic field resolution of 1.8 X 10(-13) THz-1/2. We have used the system to view trapped magnetic flux, to image thin-film strips of superconducting Pb in field strengths of 0-750 nT, and to monitor the position of a sample with a resolution of approximately 0.5 nm Hz-1/2 at a frequency of 4 kHz.
