A Biomedical Design of a Femtotesla Ferromagnetic Detector with Quasi-Super Conductor
This paper presents a flexible femto-tesla detector design using multi-level cascade modules (quantum magnetic chips, semiconductor cooling, graphene superconductors, power supply, and control circuits). The quantum magnetic chip could be any quantum effect-based chip such as tunnel magnetoresistance, superconducting quantum interference devices, spin exchange relaxation-free, optically pumped magnetometers, semiconductor cooling device could be made of bismuth telluride, lead telluride, silicon–germanium, and bismuth antimonide alloys with copper or graphene coated ceramic plate, soft version is preferable to prevent long term cracking issue, the superconductor could be zero resistance based or Meissner effect based, critical temperature high one is preferable, such as graphene, quasi superconduct like Ohno Continuous Casting (CCC) is acceptable as well, power supply and control circuits must be extreme low noise made with the latest chip technology like silicon carbide and silicon nitride. Such design is mainly meant for educational usage. The lower cost is the main design goal. Its magnetic focusing lens combines semiconductors with room-temperature quasi-superconductors. A tapered superconducting disk with a central elliptical hole concentrates magnetic flux by repelling field lines toward the hole, amplifying field strength. Civilian applications include detecting biological magnetism, say, monitoring the student attention level during the study, diagnosing Alzheimer’s and depression in humans/pets. The high-end military uses involve long-range detection of stealth submarines, carriers, tanks, and stealth aircraft. The main challenge of designing such a system is to understand the environment magnetic noise fluctuation patterns, as such, we have conducted short and long term measurements to catch the effect of Moon cycle on the background noise, these data and analysis will allow us to design an advanced Karman filter to remove the Moon noise, to see femto-Tesla variation in a more accurate design.
