Abstract:
The microwave response of YBa
2Cu
3O
7/LaAlO
3 (YBCO/LAO) and YBa
2Cu
3O
7/MgO (YBCO/MgO) superconducting thin films was studied by microstrip resonator technique. Microwave characteristics of the superconducting films were analyzed by the temperature dependence of resonant frequency, load quality factor and insert loss. The penetration depth at 0 K can be attained as:λ
0=265 nm for YBCO/LAO and λ
0=280 nm for YBCO/MgO. The microwave surface resistance Rs of YBCO/LAO and YBCO/MgO was also investigated by microstrip resonator.
