Radio-frequency surface impedance of type-II superconductors: Dependence upon the magnitude and angle of an applied static magnetic field

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10178948
The application of a static magnetic field introduces vortices into a type-II superconductor. The dynamic response of these vortices strongly affects the surface impedance (surface resistance and surface reactance) of the superconductor. Using a self-consistent approach for including the influence of the vortices upon the complex-valued radio-frequency penetration depth, we calculate in this paper how the surface impedance depends upon the static magnetic field`s magnitude and angle relative to the surface and to the rf magnetic field. The surface resistance is maximized when the induced rf currents are perpendicular to the static field.
