Abstract

Superconducting fluctuations induce remnants of the Josephson effect above Tc. To explore this, we consider a paraconducting cylinder, composed of two thin films connected by tunnel junctions, and threaded by magnetic flux. The electrical conductance includes a component that is an oscillatory function of the flux, having an amplitude proportional to the square of the Josephson coupling, and decaying exponentially with the circumference over a length scale ξ(T). We estimate the typical magnitude of this effect, and contrast it with related mesoscopic effects in normal-metal systems.
