Abstract

When odd multiples of half flux quanta thread a cylindrical superconducting shell with a diameter d shorter than the zero temperature coherence length ξ(0), superconductivity is predicted to be destroyed. We show here that as d is reduced in comparison to ξ(0) the resistance attains the normal state value, which seems to be temperature independent in the vicinity of half flux quanta. The data are in agreement with recent theoretical results.
