Abstract
This paper discusses flux-flow noise in type II superconductors. A theoretical expression is given for flux-flow noise in a rectangular sample with two probes, and compared with earlier models; the differences are not very large. Experiments give no flicker noise below 20 μW/mm 2 dissipation at 4.2 K, whereas much larger dissipations can be tolerated below the λ temperature before flicker noise sets in. The shape of the spectrum at elevated frequencies is of the 1/ f type, as predicted by the theory, followed by a probe size effect at still higher frequencies. The noise is much larger than would be expected from single fluxoids; this is caused by the flux bundle effect which, in turn, is due to pinning and fluxoid interaction. The size of the flux bundles can be determined from the data, it decreases with increasing current.
