A study on Magnetic Shielding for High Sensitivity HTSC Magnetic Sensor
Abstract

This thesis proposes a study on the magnetic shielding property of YBa2Cu3O7-x ceramic superconductor for accompanying with a high sensitivity magnetic sensor made of ceramic superconductor at temperature of 77 K. In addition, we also investigate influences of time-dependent magnetic field and stationary magnetic field on superconductor material of disk shape and hollow cylinder shape (both opened end and sealed end). As the results of increasing the repetition of calcination process to eliminate carbon form the superconductor material and enhance a value of critical current density, they are found that the ability to shield magnetic field of ceramic superconductor relies on the value of the applied magnetic strength and the critical current density of the bulk material. Among the studied frequency range from 50 Hz - 1MHz, experiments are performed by using a pick-up coil and the high sensitivity magnetic sensor of high temperature superconductor at temperature of LN2. This research is an application basis for high efficiency magnetic shielding using superconductor in high resolution magnetic field measurement devoid of external magnetic interference problem such as electronic measuring system and medical instrument e.g. SQUID magnetometer etc.
