Abstract

We report the observation of radio frequency-superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID) effect due to natural grain boundary weak links in a bulk sample of a YNi2B2C superconductor at 4.2 K, confirming that the superconducting grains are coupled at the grain boundaries through Josephson effect. Periodic oscillations in voltage-flux characteristic due to rf-SQUID effect have been clearly observed at 4.2 K when the driving rf frequency was kept slightly away from the resonance frequency of the tank circuit. Phase reversal in the voltage-flux characteristics on changing the rf frequency has been observed. Noise spectrum of the YNi2B2C bulk rf-SQUID is also reported.
