Popis: We have performed systematic 1⧸ƒ noise power measurements on bulk Tl 2 Ba 2 Ca n −1 Cu n O 4+2 n ( n = 2 and 3) materials normal and superconducting states. The 1⧸ƒ noise power is generally found to decrease with temperature until the superconducting transition region is approached. We observe no correlation between the magnitude of the 1⧸ƒ noise power in the normal state and the sample quality. In contrast to bulk Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ samples, the enhancement of the 1⧸ƒ noise in the superconducting transiti on region is reduced or even totally disappears in some of our good quality samples. We discuss a model calculation based on potential fluctuations in the grain boundary regions modeled as metal-insulator-metal junctions. We demonstrate that if direct knowledge of the barrier characteristics of the junctions is available, it is possible to explain our experimental data quantitstively.
