Ha. Blackstead et al., OBSERVATION OF FLUX-FLOW IN SUPERCONDUCTING YBA2CU3O7-DELTA FILMS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 49(21), 1994, pp. 15335-15340
Measurements of field-induced changes of the a-b plane surface resista
nce of high-quality ( > 10(10) A/m2 at 77 K and B = 0) YBa2Cu3O7-delta
films at 12.92 GHz reveal flux-flow resistivity at temperatures sever
al degrees below the superconducting onset temperature. Flux-flow resi
stivity is identified by its temperature dependence and dependence on
the Lorentz force. The results are compared to the surface resistance
theory of Coffey and Clem, which includes a model for pinning.
