Notes:
A picovoltmeter working at 4.2 K and based on a direct current superconducting quantum interference device (dc SQUID) with additional passive positive feedback for investigating the properties of superconducting thin films, Josephson junctions, and SQUIDs has been developed. It has a large small-signal bandwidth fm(approximately-equal-to)800 kHz, a slew rate of (approximately-equal-to)38 mV/s, a dynamic range of 146 dB, and a voltage resolution of 5 pV/Hz1/2 for a signal source impedance Rs=0 Ω. The noise temperature is (approximately-equal-to)0.6 K for Rs=1 Ω. In this article the dynamics and noise properties of the instrument are discussed.
