Abstract: In this paper, the voltage noise (Sv) in Y1Ba2Cu3O7
(YBCO) thin films prepared by dc magnetron sputtering
technique on SrTiO3 substrate and its dependence on various
parameters such as temperature, bias current and frequency
are discussed. The voltage noise characteristics shows an
enhanced peak near transition temperature (Tc) except for
best quality samples with better surface morphology, lesser
number of grain boundaries and having high critical current
density (Jc). The calculated value of Hooge’s parameter using
the carrier density Nc=1021/ cm3 for the thin film was 0.004
at 300K. To understand the effect of sample quality on
voltage noise, measurements were performed on Y1Ba2Cu3O7
thin films of different characteristics.
Keywords: Hooge’s parameter, percolation noise,
spectral noise density, YBCO thin film.
1. INTRODUCTION
Voltage noise in high-Tc superconductors determines the
ultimate sensitivity of superconducting devices and it
depend on the temperature, current and frequency. The
voltage noise is found in metals, semiconductors,
superconductors and even in devices like SQUIDs. The low
frequency noise in superconducting materials is related to
the critical current density, grain boundary weak links,
phase. orientation and dynamics of vortices in an applied
magnetic field [1-5]. The excess noise in YBCO is
approaching zero in superconducting state and start rising
sharply in the transition region [4]. The Tc-inhomogeneity
may also lead to thermodynamic noise in superconductors
[6]. For YBCO single crystal the 1/f noise power spectral
densities are five orders of magnitude larger than clean
metallic samples [7,8]. The strong 1/f noise in YBCO has
been attributed to conduction along the one-dimensional
Cu-O chains [9]. For low-Tc conventional superconductor,
the 1/f noise is related to the dynamics of vortex and flux
bundle pinning just below the superconducting transition
[10-12]. For granular YBCO superconducting samples, the
noise is associated with grain boundaries and percolation
effects near superconducting transition. The highly
anisotropic YBCO [13] superconducting thin films having
different critical current density, phase and orientation has
been chosen for the present study.

constant and 3+2 ln(l1/l2) is a geometrical parameter
with length l1 and width l2 of the thin film sample
respectively [14-17]. Low frequency conduction noise
behavior in conventional superconductors is explained by
thermal fluctuation model. The defects due to oxygen
vacancies which may lead to fluctuations in local carrier
density in the copper oxygen planes for Y1Ba2Cu3O7 can
affect many of the superconducting parameters may leads
to single sharp noise peak near the transition temperature
[10]. This peak is usually analyzed in terms of the
temperature fluctuation model [18].

density of voltage noise is independent of temperature and
is a power law at all frequencies.
2.3. Percolation noise model
This model [3,12,18] describes the temperature
dependence of the resistance noise near superconducting
transition showing a sharp rise. In the absence of applied
magnetic field, the normalized noise is proportional to R-
k’/s, where R represents the macroscopic sample resistance
and k’ and s are critical exponents .and the ratio k’/s can
be regarded as an index of the rise of normalized noise
[25]. Here, a superconductor is represented as a resistance
network whose element was grain boundary junctions.
The resistance of the network as a whole is determined by
a fraction of superconducting junction p, and resistance
fluctuations by random switching of these junctions (p-
noise). The number of switching junctions is assumed to be
independent of temperature. The origin of noise may be
the percolation process between grains in the film. The
amplitude of the temperature dependence of p-noise
depends on the degree of structural disorder in the sample
[26].
3. EXPERIMENTAL
3.1 Experimental set-up
Figure 1 shows schematic of the experimental set-up used
voltage-noise measurement in a high-Tc superconducting
film [5]. For the measurement of low frequency voltage
noise, the sample was mounted on a copper sample holder.
Temperature of the sample was monitored with a silicon
diode thermometer (D-T 470, Lakeshore USA), mounted
on the sample holder close to thin film sample. A non-
inductively wound manganin heater wire of 20
resistance was fixed at the center of the sample holder
which was mounted inside a vacuum can was made of
brass. The sample holder was connected to the liquid
nitrogen bath with a weak thermal link made of stainless
steel. The temperature of the sample could be varied by
changing the current in the heater. The temperature of the
sample was monitored and controlled with a cryogenic
temperature controller (Lakeshore, USA, DTC-93C) within
the accuracy of  0.05 K. Voltage noise was measured by
standard four probe technique in the spectral range 0.5 to
100 Hz.
Figure 1. Schematic of the experimental set-up used
voltage-noise measurement in a high-Tc
superconducting film
A battery-generated dc-current was passed through the
sample with a large ballast resistance Rb, in series to
minimize the noise due to contacts. The voltage signal
developed across the sample was ac-coupled to a low noise
pre-amplifier (Stanford-USA, SR-560) which had a tunable
band pass filter from dc to 1 MHz. Amplified voltage signal
was then applied to a dynamic signal analyzer (Hewlett
Packard, USA-35660) or to a lock in amplifier (SR-530)
which measures the spectral density of noise (in 1 Hz
bandwidth) of the input signal in the desired frequency
range or at a fixed frequency respectively. Figure 2 shows
the experimental set-up for low frequency noise
measurement in a high-Tc superconducting thin film. The
observed voltage noise is the sum of preamplifier noise
and noise from the sample. The background noise of the
system is measured without passing any current through
the sample. By subtracting background noise from the
measured noise, we can observe the excess noise
corresponding to the sample. To avoid interference of
signals from nearby sources the sample holder was
surrounded with three layers of  metal and the
measurements were performed inside the rf-shielded
room [23].

3.2 Sample preparation and characterization
The high-Tc YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films studied in the
experiment were deposited onto (100) SrTiO3 (10 x 10
mm2) substrate by dc magnetron sputtering technique
[20]. Target was stoichiometric YBa2Cu3O7-x. Substrate was
glued with silver paint to a heater block and heated to 700-
7500C during deposition. The sputtering gas pressure was
maintained at 800mTorr during deposition. Immediately
after deposition pure dry oxygen was introduced in the
chamber up to 300 Torr. The substrate temperature was
slowly decreased up to 4750C and was kept at this
temperature for one hour before removing the sample
from the chamber. Thickness of samples was around 300
nm. The sample was patterned into a micro-bridge of
dimension 50x50 m2 using standard photolithography
followed by etching in saturated EDTA solution. In order to
investigate the influence of orientation on the low
frequency voltage noise behavior of the YBCO thin films,
voltage noise was measured in two YBCO thin film samples
of different phase and orientation. The samples were
patterned into a micro-bridge of 50 x 50m2 dimension
and low resistivity contacts were made on them. Prior to
noise measurements, the electrical resistance and critical
current density was measured using standard dc four-
probe technique [21]. Figure 1 shows the temperature
dependence of resistance measured for two YBCO thin film
samples. The resistance was found to decrease with
decreasing temperature until superconducting transition
is approached. Sample 1 has Tc (R=0) values of 83K
whereas the sample 2 was having a higher Tc (R=0) value
of 90.5K. The Jc in ambient field at 77K for sample 1 and
sample 2 were 5x104 and 1.5x106A/cm2, respectively. The
observed differences in the Tc and Jc values are attributed
to the better crystalline quality of sample 2.

sample 1, while for sample 2 no evidence of extraneous
phases was found and the film was highly c-axis oriented.

The voltage noise properties of the two YBCO thin film
samples were investigated in the temperature range of 77-
300K in the low frequency region (0.5-100Hz). Table 2

4.1 As a function of biasing current
Figure 5 (a) and (b) shows the variation of spectral
density of voltage noise (Sv) measured at 1Hz for sample 1
and 2 as a function of biasing current Ib, at 300K. The
spectral density of voltage noise (Sv) was found to have I2
dependence i.e., V2 dependence [18].
Figure 5 (a) Variation of spectral density of voltage
noise Sv (1Hz, 300K) as a function of biasing current Ib
for sample 1.
This confirms that the noise arises due to resistance
fluctuations [2]. This result excludes the possibility that
the noise generate at contact pads is dominant, if it was so,
then Sv would have other than I2 dependence [23].
Figure 5 (b) Variation of spectral density of voltage
To check the contribution of noise generated at contacts to
the measured noise, we have increased voltage and ballast
resister both by a factor of 2 and 3 so that the ratio of
sample resistance with ballast resistor is either doubled or
tripled, but the voltage across sample remains constant.
Magnitude of noise and the slope of noise spectrum were
unaffected which suggests that noise generated due to
noise Sv (1Hz, 300K) as a function of biasing current Ib
for sample 2.

contacts were negligible [23]. Moreover, I-V characteristic
of the contacts was found to be linear for the strength of
current employed during measurements.
4.2 As a function of frequency
Figure 6 shows the voltage noise spectrum (Sv –f) of
sample 1 measured at three different temperatures 86.6K,
100K and 300K. From the figure it is clearly evident that
Sv(f) has 1/f
dependence at low frequencies (<10Hz) for
all the temperatures with  close to 1. Above this
frequency the spectra are dominated by frequency
independent noise (white noise) at low temperatures
(86.6K and 100K) which are in the superconducting
transition region. At higher temperature i.e. in the normal
state the noise spectra shows 1/f
dependence throughout
the measurement range of frequency [18,25].

measured at three different temperature (a) 86.6K, (b)
100K and (c) 300K.
4.3 As a function of temperature
Figure 7 (a) & (b) shows the temperature variation of Sv
(1Hz) for samples 1 and 2, respectively, measured with a
bias current of 1mA. It has been observed that the
magnitude of Sv in the normal state for both samples
shows a gradual decrease with the decrease in
temperature. As the superconducting transition is reached
the magnitude of Sv rises sharply and shows a noise peak.
Below this temperature the magnitude of noise falls
sharply [5]. Although, both samples showed a presence of
noise peak in the transition region but for the sample 1 we
have observed two peaks one near Tc (onset) and other
one close to Tc (0) (i e at 83K). Magnitude of Sv in normal
state for sample 2 is smaller by three orders of magnitude
than that of sample 1.
The lower magnitude of noise peak in transition region for
sample 2 is due to the fact that this YBCO thin film is of
very good quality; highly c-axis oriented and has higher Jc
value as compared with sample 1. The oriented nature of
sample 2 is expected to give lower magnitude of noise, as
there exists a large conduction anisotropy in the YBCO
material. Also, in sample 2 the conduction is in the a-b
plane which reduces the scattering of charge carriers. The
larger noise peak observed for sample 1 is possibly due to
the enhanced scattering caused due to crystal
imperfections as well as randomly aligned grains. The
noise near the Tc onset appears to be associated with the
thermal fluctuation and with the fluctuation in the number
of cooper pairs due to its short coherence length [2]. In the
lower part of the transition region superconductor grains
are at random locations results in random distribution of
current density which naturally leads to percolation effects
in this regime. The neighboring grains form
superconducting islands via Josephson coupling and at
lower temperature the percolation length of these islands
is becoming larger. When the percolation length reaches
the thickness of the film, a 3-D/2-D dimensional crossover
occurs [25].

sample 1 measured with a bias current of 1mA.

Figure 7(b) Temperature variation of Sv at 1Hz for
sample 2 measured with a bias current of 1mA.
Near superconducting transition, the conductivity
fluctuations arise due to the fluctuation in the mobility and
density of the carriers [10]. At temperature < Tc (R=0), at
low bias currents, a continuous superconducting path exist
which suggests that vortex motion is the source for noise
in this region [22]. It is due to thermally activated diffusive
vortex motion and is enhanced by a strong Lorentz force
due to the applied current [2,15,18]. The excess noise has
been observed in granular and mixed orientation YBCO
superconducting films as compared to high quality
epitaxial c-axis oriented film [23]. The magnitude of
spectral noise density in c-axis oriented films is about two
orders less than mixed oriented films. In c-axis oriented
films, transport occurs through a set of parallel layers
consisting of CuO2 planes (in a-b directions) and CuO
chains (along the b direction). Oxygen depletion is known
to create vacancies within the chains [9]. The one-
dimensional chain leads to significant resistance
fluctuations in the planes. Noise peak near transition
temperature is more for sample 1, which has mixed
orientation. Sample 1 has a larger electrical noise
magnitude than sample 2, which is c-axis-oriented film.
The improved noise performance of samples with large
size grains is related to the presence of a smaller number
of grain boundaries [23]. These grain boundary acts as
Josephson weaklinks and contribute to the observed noise.
5. TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF NORMALIZED
NOISE
The normalized noise voltage spectral density was plotted
for both samples Figure 8. shows the temperature
dependence of normalized noise Sv/V2 for YBCO thin film
sample 2. Magnitude of Sv/V2 remains constant in the
normal state and shows a sharp rise by several orders of
magnitude as the transition temperature is reached. The
enhancement of Sv/V2 in the superconducting transition
region is close to five orders of magnitude [24].
Figure 8. shows the temperature dependence of
normalized noise Sv/V2 for YBCO thin film sample 2.
6. HOOGE’S PARAMETER
The Hooge's parameter  for two thin film samples are
calculated using the carrier density Nc=1021/ cm3 at room
temperature and experimentally observed value of Sv/V2.
The numerical value of Hooge’s parameter  for the films is
comparable to that of metals [5]. The lowest value of 
measured at 300K was 0.004 in YBCO thin film deposited
on SrTiO3 by dc magnetron sputtering technique (sample
1). It was found that the value of  for sample 1 is lower
than the single crystal value by a factor of 100. Table 3
shows the Hooge’s parameters for two YBCO thin film
samples

film sample 2. The high value of slope (k= 3) for sample 2,
is probably the result of superconducting islands whose
thickness is just a little less than that of the film so that it is
approaching the 3-D model for the p noise [3,4,18]. This
result shows that the film is of high quality.

biasing current 1 mA for sample 2.
8. CONCLUSION
We have studied the voltage noise both in normal and
superconducting state of YBCO thin films. The dependence
of low frequency excess noise power (Sv) on current
confirms that the noise arises due to resistance fluctuation.
At superconducting transition temperature, the magnitude
of spectral density of voltage noise Sv, rises sharply and
show a noise peak. Below this temperature the magnitude
of noise fall sharply. Amplitude of the noise peak near
superconducting transition temperature also found to
decrease gradually as sample quality improves and
disappears for best quality samples. The low noise level
was due to the best lattice matching between the substrate
and lesser number of grain boundaries. The in-situ
annealed c-axis oriented films has  values ~ 0.004 at
T=300K. The magnitude of normalized noise Sv/V2 remains
constant in the normal state and shows a sharp rise by
several order of magnitude as transition temperature is
reached. The variation of normalized noise with resistance
shows that the normal conductor superconductor
percolation network fit well with the theoretical 3-D model
for the p-noise. The larger k slope attributed to a 3-D
model. Improved deposition condition decreases the noise
in c-axis oriented thin films by several orders of
magnitude. The c-axis oriented film with high-Jc is suitable
for fabrication of superconductor devices.

DEPENDENCE OF THE VOLTAGE NOISE ON SAMPLE QUALITY IN HIGH-TC SUPERCONDUCTING Y1Ba2Cu3O7 THIN FILMS

  • 1. International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 09 Issue: 11 | Nov 2022 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 DEPENDENCE OF THE VOLTAGE NOISE ON SAMPLE QUALITY IN HIGH-TC SUPERCONDUCTING Y1Ba2Cu3O7 THIN FILMS Shailaj Kumar Shrivastava1, Chandan Shrivastava2 1Principal, Anugrah Memorial College, Gaya (A constituent unit of Magadh university, Bodh Gaya), Bihar, India 2B. Tech student,Computer Science &Engineering, IIIT, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. -----------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract: In this paper, the voltage noise (Sv) in Y1Ba2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films prepared by dc magnetron sputtering technique on SrTiO3 substrate and its dependence on various parameters such as temperature, bias current and frequency are discussed. The voltage noise characteristics shows an enhanced peak near transition temperature (Tc) except for best quality samples with better surface morphology, lesser number of grain boundaries and having high critical current density (Jc). The calculated value of Hooge’s parameter using the carrier density Nc=1021/ cm3 for the thin film was 0.004 at 300K. To understand the effect of sample quality on voltage noise, measurements were performed on Y1Ba2Cu3O7 thin films of different characteristics. Keywords: Hooge’s parameter, percolation noise, spectral noise density, YBCO thin film. 1. INTRODUCTION Voltage noise in high-Tc superconductors determines the ultimate sensitivity of superconducting devices and it depend on the temperature, current and frequency. The voltage noise is found in metals, semiconductors, superconductors and even in devices like SQUIDs. The low frequency noise in superconducting materials is related to the critical current density, grain boundary weak links, phase. orientation and dynamics of vortices in an applied magnetic field [1-5]. The excess noise in YBCO is approaching zero in superconducting state and start rising sharply in the transition region [4]. The Tc-inhomogeneity may also lead to thermodynamic noise in superconductors [6]. For YBCO single crystal the 1/f noise power spectral densities are five orders of magnitude larger than clean metallic samples [7,8]. The strong 1/f noise in YBCO has been attributed to conduction along the one-dimensional Cu-O chains [9]. For low-Tc conventional superconductor, the 1/f noise is related to the dynamics of vortex and flux bundle pinning just below the superconducting transition [10-12]. For granular YBCO superconducting samples, the noise is associated with grain boundaries and percolation effects near superconducting transition. The highly anisotropic YBCO [13] superconducting thin films having different critical current density, phase and orientation has been chosen for the present study. 2. THEORETICAL MODELS 2.1. Thermal fluctuation model The normalized voltage noise for thermal fluctuation model is given by   S V k T C l l f v B v 2 2 2 1 2 3 2    [ ln ] Where =(dR/dT)/R is the temperature coefficient of resistance. Cv is the heat capacity, KB is the Boltzmann constant and 3+2 ln(l1/l2) is a geometrical parameter with length l1 and width l2 of the thin film sample respectively [14-17]. Low frequency conduction noise behavior in conventional superconductors is explained by thermal fluctuation model. The defects due to oxygen vacancies which may lead to fluctuations in local carrier density in the copper oxygen planes for Y1Ba2Cu3O7 can affect many of the superconducting parameters may leads to single sharp noise peak near the transition temperature [10]. This peak is usually analyzed in terms of the temperature fluctuation model [18]. 2.2 Hooge's relation Hooge’s expression for voltage noise spectral density (Sv) for an ohmic sample is given by [19] S v N f v c 2    where v is the dc voltage applied across the sample,  is Hooge’s parameter and is dimensionless constant.  is also a constant equal to unity and Nc is the total number of charge carriers in the sample which is proportional to the sample volume.  value is about 10-1 to 10-3 for metals depending on the strength of lattice disorder.

Percolation noise model This model [3,12,18] describes the temperature dependence of the resistance noise near superconducting transition showing a sharp rise. In the absence of applied magnetic field, the normalized noise is proportional to R- k’/s, where R represents the macroscopic sample resistance and k’ and s are critical exponents .and the ratio k’/s can be regarded as an index of the rise of normalized noise [25]. Here, a superconductor is represented as a resistance network whose element was grain boundary junctions. The resistance of the network as a whole is determined by a fraction of superconducting junction p, and resistance fluctuations by random switching of these junctions (p- noise). The number of switching junctions is assumed to be independent of temperature. The origin of noise may be the percolation process between grains in the film. The amplitude of the temperature dependence of p-noise depends on the degree of structural disorder in the sample [26]. 3. EXPERIMENTAL 3.1 Experimental set-up Figure 1 shows schematic of the experimental set-up used voltage-noise measurement in a high-Tc superconducting film [5]. For the measurement of low frequency voltage noise, the sample was mounted on a copper sample holder. Temperature of the sample was monitored with a silicon diode thermometer (D-T 470, Lakeshore USA), mounted on the sample holder close to thin film sample. A non- inductively wound manganin heater wire of 20 resistance was fixed at the center of the sample holder which was mounted inside a vacuum can was made of brass. The sample holder was connected to the liquid nitrogen bath with a weak thermal link made of stainless steel. The temperature of the sample could be varied by changing the current in the heater. The temperature of the sample was monitored and controlled with a cryogenic temperature controller (Lakeshore, USA, DTC-93C) within the accuracy of  0.05 K. Voltage noise was measured by standard four probe technique in the spectral range 0.5 to 100 Hz. Figure 1. Schematic of the experimental set-up used voltage-noise measurement in a high-Tc superconducting film A battery-generated dc-current was passed through the sample with a large ballast resistance Rb, in series to minimize the noise due to contacts. The voltage signal developed across the sample was ac-coupled to a low noise pre-amplifier (Stanford-USA, SR-560) which had a tunable band pass filter from dc to 1 MHz. Amplified voltage signal was then applied to a dynamic signal analyzer (Hewlett Packard, USA-35660) or to a lock in amplifier (SR-530) which measures the spectral density of noise (in 1 Hz bandwidth) of the input signal in the desired frequency range or at a fixed frequency respectively. Figure 2 shows the experimental set-up for low frequency noise measurement in a high-Tc superconducting thin film. The observed voltage noise is the sum of preamplifier noise and noise from the sample. The background noise of the system is measured without passing any current through the sample. By subtracting background noise from the measured noise, we can observe the excess noise corresponding to the sample. To avoid interference of signals from nearby sources the sample holder was surrounded with three layers of  metal and the measurements were performed inside the rf-shielded room [23]. © 2022, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.529 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 38

Target was stoichiometric YBa2Cu3O7-x. Substrate was glued with silver paint to a heater block and heated to 700- 7500C during deposition. The sputtering gas pressure was maintained at 800mTorr during deposition. Immediately after deposition pure dry oxygen was introduced in the chamber up to 300 Torr. The substrate temperature was slowly decreased up to 4750C and was kept at this temperature for one hour before removing the sample from the chamber. Thickness of samples was around 300 nm. The sample was patterned into a micro-bridge of dimension 50x50 m2 using standard photolithography followed by etching in saturated EDTA solution. In order to investigate the influence of orientation on the low frequency voltage noise behavior of the YBCO thin films, voltage noise was measured in two YBCO thin film samples of different phase and orientation. The samples were patterned into a micro-bridge of 50 x 50m2 dimension and low resistivity contacts were made on them. Prior to noise measurements, the electrical resistance and critical current density was measured using standard dc four- probe technique [21]. Figure 1 shows the temperature dependence of resistance measured for two YBCO thin film samples. The resistance was found to decrease with decreasing temperature until superconducting transition is approached. Sample 1 has Tc (R=0) values of 83K whereas the sample 2 was having a higher Tc (R=0) value of 90.5K. The Jc in ambient field at 77K for sample 1 and sample 2 were 5x104 and 1.5x106A/cm2, respectively. The observed differences in the Tc and Jc values are attributed to the better crystalline quality of sample 2. Figure 3. R-T curves for YBCO thin film micro-bridge sample 1 and sample 2 Figure 4.

SPECTRAL DENSITY OF VOLTAGE NOISE The voltage noise properties of the two YBCO thin film samples were investigated in the temperature range of 77- 300K in the low frequency region (0.5-100Hz).

The spectral density of voltage noise (Sv) was found to have I2 dependence i.e., V2 dependence [18]. Figure 5 (a) Variation of spectral density of voltage noise Sv (1Hz, 300K) as a function of biasing current Ib for sample 1. This confirms that the noise arises due to resistance fluctuations [2]. This result excludes the possibility that the noise generate at contact pads is dominant, if it was so, then Sv would have other than I2 dependence [23]. Figure 5 (b) Variation of spectral density of voltage To check the contribution of noise generated at contacts to the measured noise, we have increased voltage and ballast resister both by a factor of 2 and 3 so that the ratio of sample resistance with ballast resistor is either doubled or tripled, but the voltage across sample remains constant. Magnitude of noise and the slope of noise spectrum were unaffected which suggests that noise generated due to noise Sv (1Hz, 300K) as a function of biasing current Ib for sample 2. © 2022, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.529 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 40

Moreover, I-V characteristic of the contacts was found to be linear for the strength of current employed during measurements. 4.2 As a function of frequency Figure 6 shows the voltage noise spectrum (Sv –f) of sample 1 measured at three different temperatures 86.6K, 100K and 300K. From the figure it is clearly evident that Sv(f) has 1/f dependence at low frequencies (<10Hz) for all the temperatures with  close to 1. Above this frequency the spectra are dominated by frequency independent noise (white noise) at low temperatures (86.6K and 100K) which are in the superconducting transition region. At higher temperature i.e. in the normal state the noise spectra shows 1/f dependence throughout the measurement range of frequency [18,25]. Figure 6. Voltage noise spectrum (Sv–f) of sample 1 measured at three different temperature (a) 86.6K, (b) 100K and (c) 300K. 4.3 As a function of temperature Figure 7 (a) & (b) shows the temperature variation of Sv (1Hz) for samples 1 and 2, respectively, measured with a bias current of 1mA. It has been observed that the magnitude of Sv in the normal state for both samples shows a gradual decrease with the decrease in temperature. As the superconducting transition is reached the magnitude of Sv rises sharply and shows a noise peak. Below this temperature the magnitude of noise falls sharply [5]. Although, both samples showed a presence of noise peak in the transition region but for the sample 1 we have observed two peaks one near Tc (onset) and other one close to Tc (0) (i e at 83K). Magnitude of Sv in normal state for sample 2 is smaller by three orders of magnitude than that of sample 1. The lower magnitude of noise peak in transition region for sample 2 is due to the fact that this YBCO thin film is of very good quality; highly c-axis oriented and has higher Jc value as compared with sample 1. The oriented nature of sample 2 is expected to give lower magnitude of noise, as there exists a large conduction anisotropy in the YBCO material. Also, in sample 2 the conduction is in the a-b plane which reduces the scattering of charge carriers. The larger noise peak observed for sample 1 is possibly due to the enhanced scattering caused due to crystal imperfections as well as randomly aligned grains. The noise near the Tc onset appears to be associated with the thermal fluctuation and with the fluctuation in the number of cooper pairs due to its short coherence length [2]. In the lower part of the transition region superconductor grains are at random locations results in random distribution of current density which naturally leads to percolation effects in this regime. The neighboring grains form superconducting islands via Josephson coupling and at lower temperature the percolation length of these islands is becoming larger. When the percolation length reaches the thickness of the film, a 3-D/2-D dimensional crossover occurs [25].

Near superconducting transition, the conductivity fluctuations arise due to the fluctuation in the mobility and density of the carriers [10]. At temperature < Tc (R=0), at low bias currents, a continuous superconducting path exist which suggests that vortex motion is the source for noise in this region [22]. It is due to thermally activated diffusive vortex motion and is enhanced by a strong Lorentz force due to the applied current [2,15,18]. The excess noise has been observed in granular and mixed orientation YBCO superconducting films as compared to high quality epitaxial c-axis oriented film [23]. The magnitude of spectral noise density in c-axis oriented films is about two orders less than mixed oriented films. In c-axis oriented films, transport occurs through a set of parallel layers consisting of CuO2 planes (in a-b directions) and CuO chains (along the b direction). Oxygen depletion is known to create vacancies within the chains [9]. The one- dimensional chain leads to significant resistance fluctuations in the planes. Noise peak near transition temperature is more for sample 1, which has mixed orientation. Sample 1 has a larger electrical noise magnitude than sample 2, which is c-axis-oriented film. The improved noise performance of samples with large size grains is related to the presence of a smaller number of grain boundaries [23]. These grain boundary acts as Josephson weaklinks and contribute to the observed noise. 5. TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF NORMALIZED NOISE The normalized noise voltage spectral density was plotted for both samples Figure 8. shows the temperature dependence of normalized noise Sv/V2 for YBCO thin film sample 2. Magnitude of Sv/V2 remains constant in the normal state and shows a sharp rise by several orders of magnitude as the transition temperature is reached. The enhancement of Sv/V2 in the superconducting transition region is close to five orders of magnitude [24]. Figure 8. shows the temperature dependence of normalized noise Sv/V2 for YBCO thin film sample 2. 6. HOOGE’S PARAMETER The Hooge's parameter  for two thin film samples are calculated using the carrier density Nc=1021/ cm3 at room temperature and experimentally observed value of Sv/V2. The numerical value of Hooge’s parameter  for the films is comparable to that of metals [5]. The lowest value of  measured at 300K was 0.004 in YBCO thin film deposited on SrTiO3 by dc magnetron sputtering technique (sample 1). It was found that the value of  for sample 1 is lower than the single crystal value by a factor of 100. Table 3 shows the Hooge’s parameters for two YBCO thin film samples Table 3.

The high value of slope (k= 3) for sample 2, is probably the result of superconducting islands whose thickness is just a little less than that of the film so that it is approaching the 3-D model for the p noise [3,4,18]. This result shows that the film is of high quality. Figure 9. Sv/V2 versus resistance R on a log-log scale at biasing current 1 mA for sample 2. 8. CONCLUSION We have studied the voltage noise both in normal and superconducting state of YBCO thin films. The dependence of low frequency excess noise power (Sv) on current confirms that the noise arises due to resistance fluctuation. At superconducting transition temperature, the magnitude of spectral density of voltage noise Sv, rises sharply and show a noise peak. Below this temperature the magnitude of noise fall sharply. Amplitude of the noise peak near superconducting transition temperature also found to decrease gradually as sample quality improves and disappears for best quality samples. The low noise level was due to the best lattice matching between the substrate and lesser number of grain boundaries. The in-situ annealed c-axis oriented films has  values ~ 0.004 at T=300K. The magnitude of normalized noise Sv/V2 remains constant in the normal state and shows a sharp rise by several order of magnitude as transition temperature is reached. The variation of normalized noise with resistance shows that the normal conductor superconductor percolation network fit well with the theoretical 3-D model for the p-noise. The larger k slope attributed to a 3-D model. Improved deposition condition decreases the noise in c-axis oriented thin films by several orders of magnitude. The c-axis oriented film with high-Jc is suitable for fabrication of superconductor devices. REFERENCES [1] B.W. Ricketts, R. Driver and H. K.
