Magnetic-field-induced anomalous microwave response in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7Àd thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic-field-induced decrease of microwave surface impedance, Zs5Rs1 jXs , of superconducting YBa2Cu3O72d thin films is investigated using a microstrip resonator technique. Through measuring Zs as the direct current ~dc! magnetic field is increased from zero to a certain value Hmax and subsequently decreased back to zero, it is found that Zs(Hdc) is totally reversible if Hmax does not exceed the threshold field H*, at which Rs shows a minimum, while it is irreversible if Hmax is larger than H*. It is confirmed that the anomalous effect happens in a vortex-free state. The threshold field H* is identified with the lower critical field for the vortices penetrating into the superconducting thin films. The anomalous effect is believed to be mainly contributed by the imperfect microstructure of the superconducting thin films. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!01544-8#

متن کاملModeling the nanoscale linear response of superconducting thin films measured by a scanning probe microwave microscope
A localized and strong RF magnetic field, created by a magnetic write head, is used to examine the linear electrodynamic properties of a Nb superconducting film. The complex reflection coefficient of the write head held in close proximity to the films is measured as a function of sample temperature. A model combining a magnetic circuit (magnetic write head inductively coupled to the sample) and...

In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...
متن کاملInterpretation of a microwave induced current step in a single intrinsic Josephson junction on a Bi - 2223 thin film
Thin stacks consisting of a single intrinsic Josephson junction on (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films are investigated under the influence of external microwave fields. The I-V-characteristic shows a single resistive branch, a clear superconducting gap edge structure and a pronounced current step in external microwave fields. With increasing irradiation power it shifts to higher voltages, while the ...

We present a high-resolution microwave spectrometer to measure the frequency- dependent complex conductivity of a superconducting thin film near the critical temperature. The instrument is based on a broadband measurement of the complex reflection coefficient, S 11, of a coaxial transmission line, which is terminated to a thin film sample with the electrodes in a Corbino disk shape. In the vici...
