The magnetic sensing at nanoscale level is a promising and interesting research topic of
nanoscience. Indeed, magnetic imaging is a powerful tool for probing biological, chemical …

In recent years, highly sensitive applications and sophisticated basic research experiments
have demanded the development of new ultrasensitive magnetic sensors like the atomic …

We demonstrate detection of a single core-shell magnetite–silica nanoparticle (outer
diameter∼ 120 nm, moment∼ 10 4 μ B) using an Nb dc superconducting quantum …

Focused ion beam (FIB) has found a steady and growing use as a tool for fabrication,
particularly in the length-scale of micrometres down to nanometres. Traditionally more …

We have fabricated two different designs of niobium dc nano-SQUIDs using focussed ion
beam (FIB) lithography with loops and track widths down to 70 nm. We report on the voltage …

Recent developments in cryogenic nano-electromechanical (NEMS) resonators have shown
that they can address some fundamental physics, for example in achieving the ground state …

This book describes modern focused ion beam microscopes and techniques and how they
can be used to aid materials metrology and as tools for the fabrication of devices that in turn …

NanoSQUIDs made from Nb thin films have been produced with nanometre loop sizes down
to 200 nm, using weak-link junctions with dimensions less than 60 nm. These composite …

We report on the low-frequency noise performance of niobium dc superconducting quantum
interference devices (SQUIDs), which contain nanobridges fabricated by focused ion beam …

We discuss steps toward the readout of the position of a nanoelectromagnetic system
(NEMS) beam resonator using a Nb nanosuperconducting quantum interference device …
