Abstract

A method has been developed for measuring and analysing the complex ac susceptibility of a metal undergoing a superconducting transition, in case there exists an interplay between the normal-state skin-effect and the response characteristic for the superconducting state. For the unconventional superconductor UPt 3, the study of the temperature and frequency dependence of the complex conductivity close to T c has resulted in predictions for the surface resistance and the radio-frequency susceptibility which are in a good qualitative agreement with published experimental results.
