We developed a method to utilize mechanical vibrations to increase the sensitivity of our sensor. Imposed vibrations make the samples\u2019 position periodically time dependent, allowing the measurement of the AC magnetic field generated at specific excitation frequencies, instead of the noisy DC signal. We developed a model for the spectral and spatial response of the vibrating signal, and demonstrated the increased sensitivity with our scanning SQUID.\u200b<\/p>\n\n            <!-- Main Image -->\n                        <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beenalab.biu.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Eylon-magnetic-feild-of-a-vortex-2-pics.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image\"\n                                            style=\"max-width:911px; max-height:238px; width: 100%; height: auto;\"\n                     \/>\n            <\/figure>\n            \n            <!-- Main Link -->\n                        <p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color link\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/1.5051620\" style=\"color: #3366ff;\">\n                    Appl.
