S. Gevorgian et al., EFFECTS OF DEGRADED EDGES IN STRIPS OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING FILMS AT MICROWAVE-FREQUENCIES, Applied physics letters, 67(11), 1995, pp. 1615-1617
A simple model is proposed to analyze microwave properties of thin sup
erconducting strips with degraded edge regions. A high resistance edge
is assumed in the superconducting strip. It is shown that with increa
sed temperature more current will flow inside the superconducting stri
p away from the damaged edge resulting in a reduction of effective sur
face resistance. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
