MAGNETIC GRADIOMETER USING HIGH CRITICAL TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS AND A FLUXGATE SENSOR

Amount: $180,000

THIS IS A PROPOSAL RESEARCH LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW CLASS OF SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETIC SENSORS UTILIZING HIGHTC COPPER OXIDE BASED SUPERCONDUCTORS. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO OFFER BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN NONSUPERCONDUCTING INSTRUMENTS, AT A MUCH LOWER COST THAN THAT OF PRESENT LOW TC INSTRUMENTS. THESE SENSORS COMBINE A SUPERCONDUCTING PICKUP LOOP, TOGETHER WITH NON-SUPERCONDUCTING FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETER. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS ARE IN GEOMAGNETISM, INSTRUMENTS, SUCH AS SUSCEPTOMETERS, AND BIOMAGNETISM. THE TECHNOLOGY WHICH WE PLAN TO DEVELOP CAN BE APPLIED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SQUID BASED SYSTEMS, IF HIGH TC SQUID'S BECOME PRACTICLE.

OPTIMIZATION OF RESONANT INTERBAND TUNNEL DEVICES

Amount: $50,000

RESONANT INTERBAND TUNNEL DIODES (RITD'S) ARE A NEW NEGATIVE RESISTANCE DEVICE, WITH POTENTIAL FOR VERY HIGH SPEED, LARGE PEAK TO VALLEY RATIOS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CUSTOMIZED I/V CURVES. THESE DEVICES ARE BELIEVED TO BE CAPABLE OF SWITCHING IN \2PS., OR OF OFFERING GAIN IN THE TERAHZ RANGE. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE THE GENERATION, AMPLIFICATION, AND DETECTION OF TEREHZ RANGE SIGNALS, AND VERY HIGH SPEED LOGIC. WE PROPOSE TO CARRY OUT A RESEARCH EFFORT COMPOSED OF DEVICE MODELLING, AND DEVICE PHYSICS. THE DEVICE MODELLING WILL INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER MODELS, WHICH COULD BE DEVELOPED FURTHER (UNDER PHASE II) INTO TOOLS USEABLE BY OTHER RESEARCHERS. THE DEVICE PHYSICS EFFORT IS INTENDED TO RESULT IN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HIGH SPEED THREE TERMINAL DEVICE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.
