Abstract
The magnetic field dependent microwave power loss in thin films of YBa 2Cu3O7-delta is analysed using the technique of non-resonant microwave absorption. The loss is correlated to the surface quality, specifical ly to the granularity of the film as determined by scanning electron m icroscopy and atomic force microscopy. We also observe that a granular surface is sensitive to degradation under aqueous attacks.
