Abstract
A model of microwave absorption in superconductors is proposed in whic h the applied microwave field interacts with the fluxons in the surfac e layers of the superconducting grains. The flux in these surface laye rs is mainly reentrant and antiparallel to the flux trapped inside. Me asurements are reported of low-field microwave absorption in the YBa2C u3O7-delta superconductor carried out under field-cooling and zero-fie ld-cooling conditions in the temperature range from 5 to 80 K, and the y are well explained by this model.
