We investigated the surface resistance of Bi-2212 films fabricated by the m
ultitarget sputtering method. The surface resistance was not dependent on t
he product of the grain size and the critical current density, although man
y high temperature superconductors such as Y-Ba-Cu-O agree with such a weak
-link model. Therefore, it is possible that the conduction losses are relat
ively low at grain boundaries in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. On the other hand, it was f
ound that the intergrowth of Bi-2212 with Bi-2201 or Bi-2223 influenced the
surface resistance badly. This is very interesting, although it has never
been clarified as to why the surface resistance is dependent on the intergr
owth. Further study will be required in order to interpret the behavior of
the surface resistance of BSCCO.
