A new method has been developed for obtaining relative values of the surface energy parameter, Δ, in superconductors. It involves the measurement of the resistance of thin films subjected to a transverse magnetic field. The method has been applied to tin, indium and aluminium and to dilute alloys of the first two. The principal new results are that Δ is 1⋅48 times larger in indium than in tin and that the addition of impurity to either metal lowers Δ without changing the nature of its temperature dependence. These conclusions are compared with current theories of the interphase surface energy. An attempt has been made to deduce the absolute magnitude of Δ, which requires a detailed analysis of the way in which the last traces of the superconducting phase are eliminated from the film by the action of the magnetic field. The analysis is necessarily over-simplified but it does give a figure for Δ in pure tin which is reasonably consistent with the previous estimates of Faber and Sharvin.

We present measurements of the magnetic field dependent microwave dissipation in a heavy-ion irradiated thin YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ film, in order to study the effects of columnar defects on the pinning of vortices. Columnar defects were produced at 45° with respect to the c axis. Measurements of the microwave dissipation at 48 GHz were taken as a function of the angle between the field and the c axis, in order to compare the response along and perpendicular to the columns. The field was in the 0.3 T range. Several temperatures near the liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. We find a dip in the dissipation when the field is aligned to the tracks. The dip is absent when the field is aligned perpendicular to the tracks, and with the same angle with respect to the crystallographic directions. The dip is not very sharp, and shows up for angles as far as 30° from the track directions. From the measurements, we estimate the pinning frequency along the columns at 80 K to be νpc ≃ 25 GHz .
