Abstract

We describe general considerations important for the choice of the material and the sensors for persistent current measurements. We show the interest of using a combination of a microscopic SQUID device on top of a loop made of a two-dimensional electron gas. We present our results obtained and present the developments which we undertake to increase the performances, in the aim to explore a wider parameter range. We mention other applications of micro-SQUID sensors.
