A magnetometer using a plurality of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) includes a detecting part composed of a plurality of SQUIDs each detecting external magnetic flux, converting the detected external flux into a voltage value, and outputting a differential voltage of the converted voltage value, a signal-processing part for modulating, amplifying, and demodulating the differential voltage outputted by the detecting part, and a feedbacking part for converting a signal outputted by the signal-processing part into magnetic flux to feedback the signal to the loop of the SQUIDs.

Microwave harmonic mixer circuit of SQUID(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) is disclosed, in which a magnetic flux to voltage conversion characteristics of SQUID is used for generating a higher harmonics from an LO(Local Oscillator) signal, and mixing the higher LO harmonics with a radio frequency(RF) signal, including an SQUID for adding a RF(Radio Frequency) signal to a magnetic flux of an LO(Local Oscillator) signal frequency for having a mixing of the frequencies done; a current applying part and a grounding part disposed on both sides of the SQUID and connected to a current source on one side and grounded on the other side respectively for supplying operation current to the SQUID; RF antenna parts one each disposed between the SQUID and the current applying part and the SQUID and the grounding part for feeding a RF signal into the SQUID; an LO signal source and antenna part for applying a flux of an LO signal frequency to the SQUID; and, an IF signal detecting part for detecting an IF(Intermediate Frequency) signal mixed in the SQUID, whereby a flux to voltage conversion characteristics of the SQUID of a superconducting junction is used in modulating the frequency and magnetic flux intensity of the LO signal for generating a dominant LO higher harmonics of very high order and mixing the higher harmonics with a high frequency RF signal in frequency base.

A method of forming a superconducting YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x thin film with selected crystal orientation is described which comprises the steps of sputtering simultaneously Y, Ba and Cu onto the surface of a substrate, introducing oxygen at said surface during deposition, controlling the stoichiometry of the elements Y, Ba or both richer or poorer than the 1:2:3 stoichiometry within a few atom percent and followed by annealing to selectively grow an a-axis or a c-axis oriented film of YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x.
