Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A magnetic field measuring element includes a Superconducting QUantum Interference Device magnetic sensors, the first sensor disposed either on a second plane perpendicular to a first plane including a coil surface of the third sensor and which includes the center of the third sensor, or in the vicinity of the second plane, and a second sensor disposed either on a third plane perpendicular to the first plane and the second plane, or in the vicinity of the third plane. The center of the first sensor is present either on a straight line which passes through the center of the third sensor and is perpendicular to the first plane, or in the vicinity of said straight line, and the center of the second sensor is present in a position displaced from a line joining the center of the third sensor and the center of the first sensor.
First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A magnetic field measuring element comprising at least three SQUID magnetic sensors, each comprising a detection coil made of a superconductive material, a SQUID inductor that is connected to the detection coil and is made of the superconductive material having a Josephson junction portion, and a feedback coil generating a feedback magnetic field in the detection coil, the sensors comprising: a first SQUID magnetic sensor; a second SQUID magnetic sensor disposed either on a second plane which is perpendicular to a first plane including a coil surface of a detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor and which includes a center of the first SQUID magnetic sensor, or in vicinity of the second plane; and a third SQUID magnetic sensor having a detection coil disposed either on a third plane which is perpendicular to the first plane and the second plane and which includes the center of the detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor, or in vicinity of the third plane, wherein a center of a detection coil of the second SQUID magnetic sensor is present on a straight line which passes through the center of the detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor and is perpendicular to the first plane, or in vicinity of the straight line, and a center of the detection coil of the third SQUID magnetic sensor is present in a position displaced from a line joining the center of the detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor and the center of the detection coil of the second SQUID magnetic sensor. 2. The magnetic field measuring element according to claim 1 , wherein the center of the detection coil of the third SQUID magnetic sensor is present between the first plane and a straight line which passes through the center of the detection coil of the second SQUID magnetic sensor and is perpendicular to the second plane. 3. The magnetic field measuring element according to claim 2 , wherein a distance between the center of the detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor and the center of the detection coil of the first SQUID magnetic sensor, a distance between the center of the detection coil of the second SQUID magnetic sensor and the center of the detection coil of the third SQUID magnetic sensor, and a distance between the center of the detection coil of the third SQUID magnetic sensor and the center of the detection coil of the second SQUID magnetic sensor are substantially the same distance. 4. A magnetic field measuring device comprising: a refrigerant retaining member for retaining a liquid refrigerant; and the inserted magnetic field measuring element according to claim 1 . 5. A magnetic field measuring system comprising: the magnetic field measuring element according to claim 1 ; and an information processing device configured to process information output from the magnetic field measuring element.
