Figure 3. Magnetic field dependence of current-voltage characteristics of SQUID probes and modulation of the SQUID voltage by magnetic field.

Figure 3

(a) Typical current-voltage characteristics of a nano-SQUID probe without mechanical polishing and (b) after mechanical polishing of the tip of the probe at applied magnetic field of (i) 0.5, (ii) 0.3, and (iii) 0.1 mT. No hysteresis in the I-V characteristics was observed. (c) Modulation of SQUID voltage (VSQ) by Bext at current-bias of (i) 196.2, (ii) 198.1, (iii) 200.0, and (vi) 201.9 μA for a nano-SQUID probe without mechanical polishing. (d) Modulation of SQUID Voltage (VSQ) in Bext at current-bias of (i) 8.0, (ii) 10.0, (iii) 12.0, and (vi) 14.0 μA for a nano-SQUID probe after mechanical polishing.
