Microwave surface resistance (R{sub s}) has been measured on c-axis-oriented superconducting HgBa{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 6+{delta}} (Hg-1212) films. A cavity perturbation method was employed using a high-Q Nb cavity cooled at 4.2 K. For the best film, an R{sub s} as low as {approx}0.3 m{omega} was observed at 10 GHz up to {approx}120 K on Hg-1212 films that have smooth surface morphology and high critical current density near 2 MA/cm{sup 2} at 100 K and self-field. This result suggests that Hg-1212 films are very promising for microwave applications above 100 K. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
