Abstract
Experimental results of noise properties of high temperature superconducting GdBaCuO films on thin Si membranes with YSZ buffer layer are reported. Noise measurements have been carried out within 80-300 K temperature range and 2 Hz — 10 kHz frequency range. Four characteristic zones with different temperature dependences of noise voltage have been revealed. The films have the smallest Hooge parameter αH = 0.04 of those published for high-temperature superconducting films on Si substrates. The low 1/f noise level allowed to observe phonon noise in the middle of transition. A special attention has been paid to the investigation of noise degradation of films.
