Abstract

The rf-SQUID effect in YNi2B2C bulk superconductor due to natural grain boundary Josephson junctions has been observed up to 13.2 K. At 4.2 K, the peak to peak amplitude of the SQUID modulation was 1.5 mV. The bulk rf-SQUID operates in non-hysteretic mode. Flux noise spectrum of the SQUID at 4.2 K showed white noise down to 0.3 Hz and in this region flux noise density, √Sφ was ≈2×10−3 φo/√Hz. Rapid increase in flux noise observed at T > 10 K has been attributed to flux hopping.
