A magnetic head has a superconducting quantum interference device having a ring made of a superconductive material including a Josephson junction which links to a magnetic flux generated by a magnetic recording medium, and a magnetic pole for guiding the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic recording medium or the ring made of a superconductive material arranged in parallel to a plane of the magnetic recording medium so that the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic recording medium flows into a through-hole of the ring. A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus includes such a magnetic head, a winding to which a reproduced signal from the magnetic head is applied and the superconductive ring including the Josephson junction arranged such that the magnetic flux generated by the winding flows thereto.
摘要:
Since a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) using a high temperature superconductor operates at the liquid nitrogen temperature 77 K, which is higher than the liquid helium temperature 4.2 K, it is necessary that the value of signal voltages is at a level, which is sufficiently higher than the thermal noise level. The superconducting inductance L should be decreased with increasing current flowing through Josephson junctions in the SQUID. The superconducting inductance can be reduced by various methods such as reduction in the size of the aperture of the superconducting inductance, parallel connection of superconducting inductances, utilization of a superconducting ground plane, etc., in order to realize a SQUID, which can be use in a wide application field at the liquid nitrogen temperature 77 K.
