Abstract

We report on the development of an ultralow noise thin-film based SQUID magnetometer. A niobium thin-film pickup coil is connected to the input coil of a SQUID current sensor. The low capacitance of the used sub-micrometer cross-type Josephson junctions enable superior noise performance of the device. Application scenarios e.g. in geophysics and ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.
