SQUIDs – ultimate magnetic sensors
Gordon B. Donaldson · Physica status solidi. C, Conferences and critical reviews/Physica status solidi. C, Current topics in solid state physics · 2005
SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) have extreme electromagnetic energy sensitivity, which can be applied in a wide variety of ways. Some of these are covered in the papers representing the rest of this symposium: in this brief introductory paper we indicate the wide extent of the full range of applications to which they have been put, from bioscience to tests of General Relativity.
