We study alternating voltage generation in Nb open nanotubes under weakly modulated transport current and magnetic field by numerically solving the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation [1]. Under stationary currents and fields, as a rule, an alternating voltage with a fixed frequency is generated in the nanotube. The frequency is associated with the period of the vortex nucleation at the nanotube edges. If the transport current is modulated by a weak ac component with a frequency close to the nucleation frequency, we reveal the effect of frequency-locking of the vortex nucleation, i.e., the nucleation frequency becomes equal to the external frequency of the modulated transport current. The frequency-locking width is discussed as a function of the modulation depth. Its sensitivity to the magnetic field variation opens up opportunities for the experimental examination of the effect.
