Abstract

A numerical method able to account for the intrinsic thermal noise in a rf-SQUID is described. Indicative numerical results are illustrated.

Performance factors in rf SQUIDs--High frequency limit

Robert A. Buhrman, L. D. Jackel

The mode of operation of rf SQUIDs in the limit where the bias frequency ω exceeds the natural R/L frequency of the SQUID ring is analyzed. Optimum coupling conditions are presented and the intrinsic noise limits are discussed.

Influence of the Josephson junction on the impedance and noise of a resistive superconductive quantum interference device

Robert J. Soulen, William E. Fogle, Jack H. Colwell +2 more

The impedance and noise of a resistive superconductive quantum interference device (R-SQUID) have been measured as a function of the dc and rf currents applied to it. The Josephson junction was adjustable so that data were also taken for several values of the junction critical current. The results were compared with the predictions of a resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model which takes into account the influence of the Josephson junction on the impedance and noise. The agreement was found to be quite good and demonstrates that the noise in the circuit is well understood. Use of the R-SQUID as a noise thermometer below 1 K is assessed in terms of corrections due to the RSJ model. It is demonstrated how the dc and rf currents may be adjusted so that the total noise of the R-SQUID is reduced to within 0.1% of the Johnson noise generated by the resistor alone. Under these conditions, the R-SQUID may be used as a noise thermometer to determine thermodynamic temperature to this inaccuracy from 6 to 700 mK.

Current-phase relations and noise in rf biased squids

L. D. Jackel, Terrence D. Clark, Robert A. Buhrman

An investigation has been made of the effect of the weak link current-phase relation on noise in rf biased SQUIDs. Non-sinusoidal current-phase relations have been observed in various weak links and these non-sinusoidal relations have been correlated with significantly increased intrinsic noise in the SQUID ring. The current-phase relation is also found to affect the amplitude of the rf SQUID ring dissipation. The result of a rf SQUID system noise analysis shows that, due to increased intrinsic noise and reduced ring dissipation, the minimum attainable noise for a SQUID ring having a very non-sinusoidal current-phase relation is considably greater than for a ring with a sinusoidal relation.
