Aa. Essa et al., Non-equilibrium microwave response of YBa2Cu3O7-delta granular thin films under magnetic fields, ACT PHY C E, 8(11), 1999, pp. 860-868
Microwave responses of YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) granular film have been studi
ed at the microwave frequency of 30.5 GHz. In the absence of a magnetic hel
d the dependence of a normal microwave response on the bias current is obse
rved at a temperature close to T-c. When a magnetic field ranged from 5.0 m
T to 33.0 mT is applied, the responses broaden and shift toward a lower tem
perature. In the superconducting state, the responses were found to be high
ly dependent on the magnetic field. For the current equal to 5.0 mA and a m
agnetic field above 17.0 mT the response increases and did not vanish even
at a very low temperature, the fact is believed to be correlated to the ani
sotropic character of the structure.
