Abstract

The scanning SQUID microscope (SSM) is a powerful tool for imaging magnetic fields above sample surfaces. It has the advantage of high sensitivity and bandwidth and the disadvantages of relatively modest spatial resolution and the requirement of a cooled SQUID sensor. We describe the various implementations of this type of instrument and discuss a number of applications, including magnetic imaging of short circuits in integrated circuits, corrosion currents in aluminum, and trapped flux in superconductors.
