摘要:
An improved AC susceptometer and methodology for its use which is particularly suitable for the characterization of the properties of superconducting materials. Added to the circuitry of a conventional AC susceptometer is frequency domain analytical equipment for measuring the induced magnetic response. The addition of frequency domain measuring equipment permits the determination of the harmonic components of the induced magnetic response. The measurement of the harmonic components of the response also provides novel methodology for studying the phenomena of flux penetration, flux pinning and movement and permits the measurement of parameters such as lower critical field, critical temperatures, and the irreversibility line.

摘要:
Apparatus and methodology for the rapid and inexpensive characterization of superconducting materials. The method and apparatus induces an alternating magnetic field in the sample to be tested. If the material is a superconductor odd harmonics are generated in the alternating magnetic response of the material near the transition temperature. The superconducting transitions are manifested by a peak or peaks in the odd harmonic components of the alternating magnetic response as a function of temperature. The peaks of the harmonic components are detected to indicate the presence and number of superconducting transitions.

Apparatus and methodology for mapping the superconductive properties of a sample of superconducting material. The material is cooled so that it is a mixed state and an alternating magnetic field is induced in a portion of the sample to be tested. The harmonic component of the induced alternating magnetic response is measured at a location proximate to the point of induction. As the inducing and measuring devices are displaced relative to the sample the measured amplitude of the harmonic component is stored in suitable storage means as a function of location in the sample. Thus, a map of the superconducting properties of the sample may be generated.

A thin film capacitor is formed of a thin crystalline electrically insulative or semiconductive substrate. With the insulative substrate a thin conductive metal layer is deposited on the substrate and a thin film of a crystalline strontium barium niobate deposited on the thin conductive metal layer so that its 2.77.ANG. spaced atomic planes are oriented in a non-perpendicular manner to the substrate and an additional thin conductive layer is deposited on the surface of the strontium barium niobate film. When a semiconductive substrate is employed the strontium barium niobate film is deposited directly on the substrate. These capacitors exhibit a low temperature coefficient of capacitance and a high capacitance density.

An improved biplane phased array transducer for real time medical imaging in at least two sector planes having a composite piezoelectric plate with an array of transducer elements disposed on each major surface of said plate, the array on one side being at an angle to the array on the other side, said transducer elements being defined by dicing each major surface of said composite plate through the conductive electrode surface and into a portion of the composite piezoelectric material, and electrical connections provided whereby each array may be grounded alternately so that real time sector imaging in two planes is obtained.
