Abstract

In the current-induced resistive state of a type-I superconducting film trains of flux tubes traverse the strip perpendicular to the direction of the transport current. The nucleation site can be controlled by a constricted geometry. The sample-voltage drop V and the nucleation frequency υ* are coupled by the Josephson relation

$$ \nu * = V/n\Phi _o $$
(1)

where n is the number of flux quanta per flux tube and Φo is the flux quantum. Previous magneto-optical experiments [1] confirmed this dynamical behavior of the superconductor. An electrically insulated magneto-resistance probe in close proximity to the superconducting film allows to measure the nucleation frequency of the flux tubes including the frequency spectrum and the temporal fluctuations in a passive way.
