A. Saito et al., SATURATION OF 1 F NOISE-LEVEL OF SUPERCONDUCTOR-CONSTRICTIONS-SUPERCONDUCTOR MESOSCOPIC DEVICES/, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 2399-2400
Low frequency noise properties of all-thin film superconductor-constri
ctions-superconductor devices have been investigated. We first found t
hat the magnitude of 1/f noise level rapidly decreases with increasing
the device quality factor Q(-1) and saturates for Q(-1)greater than o
r equal to 2. From Hooge theory [1] this saturation phenomena indicate
s that the number of carriers in the system no longer changes for Q(-1
)greater than or equal to 2.
