Abstract
The first practical applications of high temperature superconductors are likely to be small-scale electronic devices such as detectors or analog processors. Several types of superconducting quantum interference devices SQUIDs have already been operated successfully as detectors of magnetic fields. But although operation at higher temperatures, say 77 K, will be more convenient, the sensitivity of all detectors inevitably be degraded.
