Abstract

In traditional detection of the magnetic signal in the experiment, complicated electronic devices are usually set up to explore the feedback from the superconducting transition due to the external magnetic field. This kind of direct detection will be more time-consuming, especially in experiments with strict requirements like low temperature and high vacuum. To make the signal detection more convenient to realize, we design a novel sample stage with functions of both placement and acceptance of the magnetic field based on the mirror image method. This device consists of two parts, drive coils and receiver coils. The drive coils apply the initial magnetic field to the superconducting material while the receiver coils are used to collect the magnetic signal feedback. With only the power supply and a signal amplifier needed to be connected to the coils, our device makes it more convenient to finish magnetic signal detection. Another highlight of our design is using first-principles numerical simulation to help accurately determine the size and parameters of the device. With these calculated parameters, we build a 3D model of the device using the software SOLIDWORKS.
