Gn. Mikhailova et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE SURFACE-RESISTANCE AND RESIDUAL LOSSES IN YBCO(124) AND MELT-TEXTURED YBCO(123) HTSC CERAMICS AT A FREQUENCY OF 39 GHZ, Solid state communications, 95(9), 1995, pp. 635-638
The surface resistance of ceramic Y1Ba2CU3O7-x samples obtained by the
melting technique and Y1Ba2CU4O8 samples were measured within the tem
perature range 30-120 K. The techniques of manufacturing the samples a
re described. Measurements were carried out using the resonator method
at a frequency of 39 GHz. The residual losses in melt (1 2 3) samples
are below 10(-1) Omega which is much smaller than in the traditional
ceramics. The residual R(s) for the best (124) samples is 0.9 Omega. T
he results are analyzed in terms of various theoretical models.
