A low-noise ferrite magnetic shield
A low-noise ferrite magnetic shield
Ferrite materials provide magnetic shielding performance similar to commonly used high permeability metals but have lower intrinsic magnetic noise generated by thermal Johnson currents due to their high electrical resistivity. Measurements inside a ferrite shield with a spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometer reveal a noise level of 0.75fTHz−1∕2, 25 times lower …
