Closed-cycle refrigerator-cooled scanning SQUID microscope for room-temperature samples.

Type of article: Article
Summary
The authors have designed, built and operated a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope that uses a closed-cycle refrigerator to cool a YBCO dc SQUID to 77 K. The SQUID is mounted in custom vacuum housing that has a thin sapphire window that maintains thermal isolation of the SQUID while allowing samples to be imaged in air at room temperature. Samples are mounted on an x-y scanning table and can be brought to within about 60 microm of the SQUID for magnetic field imaging. The authors describe the performance of the system and present images of a variety of samples.
