A model for the microwave response of a nanostructured high-Tc superconductor (HTS) film, with implanted nanoparticles and nanorods of a dielectric material or point-like and columnar irradiation defects with a nano-sized cross-section is developed. In this case, the microwave surface resistance Rs(T,H,ω) is calculated both for the Meissner and mixed states of a superconductor film in an applied dc magnetic field. The obtained results indicate that the implantation of dielectric nanoparticles or point-like radiation defects can significantly improve superconductor characteristics at microwave frequencies. Namely, these nano-sized structural defects can decrease the surface resistance in the Meissner state and eliminate the oscillations of Abrikosov vortices and the related microwave energy losses, thus decreasing the contribution of Abrikosov vortices to the Rs value in the mixed state of a HTS film.

ABSTRACTThe vortex dynamics at microwave frequencies in YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) films has been studied. We observe a peak in the microwave surface resistance Rs vs. T (temperature) plots at 4.88 GHz in some films in magnetic fields (upto 0.8 T) whereas a few films do not show a pronounced peak in their surface resistance. This is associated with the ‘peak-effect’ phenomenon and reflects the order-disorder transformation of the flux-line lattice near the transition temperature. Introduction of artificial pinning centers like columnar defects as a result of irradiation with 200 MeV Ag ion leads to the suppression of the peak in films exhibiting the ‘peak-effect’. Interestingly, a peak is seen to develop in those films that initially did not show a peak in the surface resistance before irradiation. These results and the dynamics of the vortices at microwave frequencies for the unirradiated and irradiated films will be discussed.

Ln(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (Ln = Dy, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Y) compositions have been prepared, and their pertinent properties for use as thin film substrates for YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) were measured. X-ray diffraction shows that Ln(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 compositions have noncubic symmetry and the GdFeO3-type structure. Dielectric constant measurements revealed values between 22 and 27, which are larger than those of the LnAlO3 family. Quality factor (=1/ tan δ) of the ceramic specimens measured at room temperature was larger than 3000 at 10 GHz. Among the compounds, La(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 exhibited the highest dielectric constant and the lowest dielectric loss. Chemical reaction was observed between Ln(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (Ln = Dy, Sm, Y) and YBCO after annealing a 1 : 1 mixture at 950 °C. Considering dielectric and physical properties, La(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 and Sm(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 were determined to be suitable substrates for YBCO thin film used in microwave applications.
