Non-resonant microwave absorption studies of superconducting MgB2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-resonant microwave absorption(NRMA) studies of superconducting MgB2 at a frequency of 9.43 GHz in the field range -50 Gauss to 5000 Gauss are reported. The NRMA results indicate near absence of intergranular weak links. A linear temperature dependence of the lower critical field H c 1 is observed indicating a non s-wave superconductivity. However, the phase reversal of the NRMA signal which could suggest d-wave symmetry is also not observed.

Vortex state microwave response in superconducting cuprates and MgB2
We investigate the physics of the microwave response in YBa2Cu3O7−δ, SmBa2Cu3O7−δ and MgB2 in the vortex state. We first recall the theoretical basics of vortex-state microwave response in the London limit. We then present a wide set of measurements of the field, temperature, and frequency dependences of the vortex state microwave complex resistivity in superconducting thin films, measured by a...
متن کاملSuperconducting Microwave Cavity Made of Bulk MgB2
We report the successful manufacture and characterization of a microwave resonant cylindrical cavity made of bulk MgB2 superconductor (Tc ≈ 38.5 K), which has been produced by the Reactive Liquid Mg Infiltration technique. The quality factor of the cavity for the TE011 mode, resonating at 9.79 GHz, has been measured as a function of the temperature. At T = 4.2 K, the unloaded quality factor is ...
متن کاملEvidence of a nonequilibrium distribution of quasiparticles in the microwave response of a superconducting aluminum resonator.
In a superconductor, absorption of photons with an energy below the superconducting gap leads to redistribution of quasiparticles over energy and thus induces a strong nonequilibrium quasiparticle energy distribution. We have measured the electrodynamic response, quality factor, and resonant frequency of a superconducting aluminium microwave resonator as a function of microwave power and temper...
متن کاملThe superconducting gap of in situ MgB2 thin films by microwave surface impedance measurements
Precision measurements of the microwave surface resistance Rs of in situ MgB2 films directly reveal an exponential behavior of Rs at low temperature indicating a fully-gapped order parameter. The entire temperature dependence of Rs is well described by a Mattis–Bardeen formalism, but with a small gap ratio of D(0)/kTc50.72, corresponding to D(0)51.9 meV. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @D...
متن کاملMicrowave properties of superconducting MgB2
Measurements of 10 GHz microwave surface resistance, Rs , of dense MgB2 wire and pellet are reported. Significant improvements are observed in the wire with reduction of porosity. The data lie substantially above the theoretical estimates for a pure Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer s-wave superconductor. However, the Rs ~20 K! of the wire is an order of magnitude lower than that of polycrystal YBa2Cu3...
