Flux Noise near the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition

Superconductivity 2008-02-03 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study the flux noise in Josephson junction arrays in the critical regime above the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. In proximity coupled arrays a local ohmic damping for the phases is relevant, giving rise to anomalous vortex diffusion and a dynamic scaling of the flux noise in the critical region. It shows a crossover from white to 1/f1/f-noise at a frequency ωξξz\omega_\xi\propto\xi^{-z} with a dynamic exponent z=2z=2.
