Abstract
Studies on magnetic-field dependent microwave absorption in Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films superconducting above 100 K are reported. The films were DC magnetron sputtered on MgO and CaNdAlO/sub 4/ single crystals from Pb-rich targets and post-annealed at high temperatures in air for less than 1 h. The measurements were performed as a function of temperature, DC magnetic field, and the film magnetic history. The results show that the microwave absorption measurements are a very sensitive tool for high-T/sub c/ thin-film characterization, since even small variations in the film phase homogeneity, granularity, or crystalline orientation are clearly visible on the modulated absorption curves. It was found that the films characterized by the lowest absorption exhibited the highest critical current densities.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
