摘要
It is shown that the spatial resolution of scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope, which is considered naively to be limited by the size of the pickup coil (typically grater than of the order of pm) I can be improved by applying a mathematical transformation to the obtained data. The resolution of the image is improved at best to the scanning step size (can be less than of the order of mu m) even in the presense of the noise. Problems to be solved in applying the method to visualize the. fluxons in superconducting network structures are discussed by use of numerical simulations and of real experimental data.
