Heterogeneous Superconducting Low-Noise Sensing Coils

advertisement:

Electrically superconductive outer layers are supported by highly thermally conductive skeletons.

A heterogeneous material construction has been devised for sensing coils of super-conducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers that are subject to a combination of requirements peculiar to some advanced applications, notably including low-field magnetic resonance imaging for medical diagnosis. The requirements in question are the following:
