Abstract

The thermal fluctuation-induced distribution of values of external flux at which a small superconducting ring closed by a Josephson junction undergoes transitions between fluxoid quantum states offers an experimentally tractable test of the theories of thermal fluctuations in superconductors for a case dominated by a fluxoid quantization. This paper reports new and precise measurements of these intrinsic fluctuations that confirm the recent theoretical results of Kurkijärvi.1
