Abstract
The magnetic field dependence of the critical current of a Josephson junction near the critical temperature is studied. It is proven that as the temperature approaches Tc, the Ic(H) dependence of a comparatively small Josephson junction shows random current oscillations with amplitudes of the order of those of the current itself. This mesoscopic behavior is investigated above and below the critical temperature. At temperatures above Tc, the supercurrent flowing in small junctions is predicted. Below Tc the deviations from the periodic ‘‘Fraunhofer’’ dependence of the critical current are obtained. The correlation functions of currents are calculated for various values of the magnetic field.
