text: We present a scanning probe technique for measuring the dynamics of individual
fluxoid transitions in multiply connected superconducting structures. In these
measurements, a small magnetic particle attached to the tip of a silicon cantilever
is scanned over a micron-size superconducting ring fabricated from a thin aluminum
film. We find that near the superconducting transition temperature of the aluminum,
the dissipation and frequency of the cantilever changes significantly at particular
locations where the tip-induced magnetic flux penetrating the ring causes the
two lowest-energy fluxoid states to become nearly degenerate. In this regime,
we show that changes in the cantilever frequency and dissipation are well-described
by a stochastic resonance (SR) process, wherein small oscillations of the cantilever
in the presence of thermally activated phase slips (TAPS) in the ring give rise
to a dynamical force that modifies the mechanical properties of the cantilever.
Using the SR model, we calculate the average fluctuation rate of the TAPS as a
function of temperature over a 32-dB range in frequency, and we compare it to
the Langer-Ambegaokar-McCumber-Halperin theory for TAPS in one-dimensional superconducting
structures.
