Surface Impedance of the High TC Oxide Superconductors

Abstract

We review briefly our results on measurements of the millimeter wave surface impedance of ceramic, thin film and single crystal samples of the high- Tc oxide superconductors. The observed losses and temperature dependences do not agree with BCS theory. We discuss our recent measurements of single crystal Bi(2)CaSr(2)Cu(2)O(x) and the effect of the application of a perpendicular magnetic field. We consider the possibilities of intrinsic and defect mechanisms to explain our observations. In particular, we discuss the effects of weakly coupled granular films on surface impedance.
