摘要
We experimentally studied two important parameters of helium-cooled superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) in the voltage bias mode: the dynamic resistance R-d and the flux-to-current transfer coefficient partial derivative i/partial derivative Phi, with different junction shunt resistors R-J. We investigated a voltage-biased SQUID using the direct readout current-to-voltage converter scheme involving an operational amplifier. At higher R-J, the flux-to-voltage conversion coefficient partial derivative V/partial derivative Phi becomes sufficiently large to effectively suppress the room-temperature amplifier's noise without any need for additional feedback circuits. The McCumber parameter limits the rise of partial derivative V/partial derivative Phi. We discuss the performance of voltage-biased SQUIDs at different effective McCumber parameters.
