Abstract

The microwave properties of high-J(c) (~10⁶ A cm⁻²) c-axis Y₁Ba₂Cu₃O₇ this films on MgO(100) substrates were investigated as a function of the film microstructure. Measurements at 77 K, using a sapphire dielectric resonator operated in the TE₀₁₁ mode, show that the microwave surface resistance,R(s), at 10 GHz increases from 0.8 mΩ for very smooth films to 3–4 mΩ for films with large scale microstructural defects such as outgrowths and holes or pits. The unloaded quality factor Q(u) decreases from about 96,000 to below 50,000.
