The formation of spontaneous fluxoid generation in thin film rings of the amorphous superconductor Mo3Si was reported. The superconductor was cooled through the normal-superconducting transition, as a function of quench rate and externally applied magnetic field, using a variable sample temperature scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope. The results were explained using a model of freeze-out of thermally activated fluxoids, mediated by the transport of bulk vortices across the ring walls.
