MAGNETIC FIELD MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
First Claim
1. A magnetic field measuring apparatus comprising:
- a first sealing member;
a second sealing member; and
a process layer sealed by the first sealing member and the second sealing member,wherein the process layer includes a first hollow portion in which alkali metal gas is sealed, and a second hollow portion provided opposed to the first hollow portion with a first isolation wall interposed therebetween.

Abstract
In order to provide a magnetic field measuring apparatus facilitating the pressure control in a gas cell, or capable of inspecting the internal pressure of the gas cell without using any special process, the magnetic field measuring apparatus is configured such that a process layer of the magnetic field measuring apparatus has such a structure that includes a first hollow portion and a second hollow portion provided opposed to first hollow portion with a first isolation wall interposed therebetween. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing the magnetic field measuring apparatus includes breaking the first isolation wall after generating alkali metal (FIG. 17 and FIG. 20).

10. A method for manufacturing a magnetic field measuring apparatus including a first sealing member, a second sealing member, and a process layer sealed by the first sealing member and the second sealing member, wherein the process layer includes a first hollow portion and a second hollow portion provided with a first isolation wall interposed therebetween,
the method comprising: -
(a) generating alkali metal gas in the first hollow portion; and (b) after (a), breaking a portion of the first isolation wall by increasing the stress applied to the first isolation wall caused by the pressure inside of the first hollow portion to a level higher than a destructive limitation stress. - View Dependent Claims (11)
