Nonlinear microwave impedance of superconductors and ac response of the critical state
نویسنده
چکیده
The hysteretic ac response of the current-induced critical state of superconducting wires (strips of circular or rectangular cross-section) is expressed in a surface impedance formulation. The results for the rectangular strip are shown to be in good agreement with experimental results on the high power nonlinear response of superconducting microwave devices. The approach provides a proper framework to understand such nonlinear response.

The nonlinear dependence on applied ac field (bv) or current (iv) of the microwave ~ac! impedance Rv 1iXv of both short and long Josephson junctions is calculated under a variety of excitation conditions. The dependence on the junction width is studied, for both field symmetric ~current antisymmetric! and field antisymmetric ~current symmetric! excitation configurations. The resistance shows st...
متن کاملCritical-state effects on microwave losses in type-II superconductors
We discuss the microwave energy losses in superconductors in the critical state. The field-induced variations of the surface resistance are determined, in the framework of the Coffey and Clem model, by taking into account the distribution of the vortex magnetic field inside the sample. It is shown that the effects of the critical state cannot generally be disregarded to account for the experime...
متن کاملMicrowave Absorption Peaks : Signatures of Spin Dynamics in Cuprates
We show that a common feature of temperature-dependent microwave absorption is the presence of absorption peaks. ac loss peaks can arise when the internal T -dependent magnetic relaxation time crosses the measurement frequency. These features are observed in the insulating (SrxCa14−xCu24O41, La5/3Sr1/3NiO4 and Y Ba2Cu3O6.0), pseudo-gap (T > Tc in underdoped Y Ba2Cu3O7−δ , Hg : 1223 and Hg : 120...
