A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device Magnetometer with a Room-Temperature Pickup Coil for Measuring Impedance Magnetocardiograms

Abstract: To measure an impedance magnetocardiogram (I-MCG) signal, we have developed a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer with a room-temperature pickup coil. The pickup coil (30-mm diameter) is set outside the cryostat and is connected to the input coil in the SQUID. The noise level of the magnetometer is 90 fT Hz À1=2 at 10 kHz. Using the magnetometer, we measured I-MCG signals (below 15 pT)-which were obtained by applying an ac current (10 kHz) with constant amplitude (7 mA, peak-to-pea… Show more

“…For this reason, the magnetometer with a room-temperature pickup coil (PC) for detecting signals, which can clearly be detected in higher frequency range, was developed in order to simplify the SQUID system. The PC is set outside the cryostat and is connected to the input coil of the SQUID [9] or a channel of superconducting field-effect transistor (SuFET) [10]. On the other hand, implantable-into-nerve fiber transducers are evolving from the ordinary Si-chip microelectronics devices [11] into superconducting and nanodevices [12,13].…”

“…To overcome this, we utilized the technology associated with distant flux transfer to develop a SQUID-based MRA system. [11][12][13] The SQUID-based MRA system used here was developed through the cooperation between authors and Global Applied Biomedical Corporation. Figure 3 shows the scheme for the SQUID-based MRA developed in this work.…”

“…These devices utilize quantization of the magnetic flux in superconducting phenomena, and can measure extremely weak magnetic fields. For this reason, SQUIDs are used for the development of a variety of magnetometric systems in the fields of medicine, analysis, inspection, resource exploration, and so on . Thus SQUID‐based magnetometers promise new high‐sensitivity measuring systems.…”
