Abstract

A quasioptical technique of measuring superconductor surface resistance using a confocal resonator has been developed. The method has advantages of nondestructive analysis, high sensitivity, easy extension to higher frequencies, convenient experimental setup, and flexibility in sample size. Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O high-temperature superconducting films have been measured with this technique and the measured surface resistances were less than 0.01 Ω at 36.135 GHz and 77 K. The measurements have been performed from 29 to 39 GHz, and all films showed roughly a quadratic dependence of surface resistance with frequency.
