Research On Superconducting Thin Films And Devices

We report some leading research on superconducting devices in Taiwan. Research includes thin films. Josephson junctions, junction arrays and resonators etc. In device physics characteristics of Josephson junctions, junction array, and SQUIDs are reported. Applications of SQUIDs include: (1) studies of brain activities (magnetoencenphalogram) using multichannel low T, SQUIDs system; (2) detection of weak magnetic fields (magneto cardiograph, etc.) using high-T-c SQUIDs; (3) nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of deep flaws using high-T-c SQUIDs. Research projects in the future in our group are briefly reported.
