Introduction to Magnetometers

KEY FEATURES The book provides statistical and theoretical considerations on magnetism in many-body systems, offering a comprehensive overview of the topic for readers who may be new to the field. The book exploring how theoretical models can be used to understand the magnetic properties of materials. The book examines the use of magnetometry as a primary tool in the prospection of underground water, highlighting how magnetic sensing can be used to detect the presence of water and other substances beneath the surface of the earth. The book explores atomic scale magnetic sensing and imaging based on diamond NV centers, providing insights into the latest technologies and techniques for magnetic sensing at the atomic scale. The book covers SQUID magnetometers, Josephson junctions, confinement, and BCS theory of superconductivity, delving into the fundamental principles underlying the design and operation. This book is aimed at a broad range of readers including students in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or related fields, who want to gain a comprehensive understanding of magnetometry and magnetic sensing.
