The microwave response of MgB2/Al2O3 superconducting thin films

摘要

Microwave characteristics of MgB2/Al2O3 superconducting thin films were investigated by coplanar resonator technique.The thin films studied have different grain sizes resulting from different growth techniques.The experimental results can be described very well by a grain-size model which combines coplanar resonator theory and Josephson junction network model.It was found that the penetration depth and surface resistance of thin films with smaller grain sizes are larger than those of thin films with larger grain sizes.
