NUMERICAL ANALYSIS ON MAGNETIC SHIELDING OF AXIALLY SYMMETRIC SUPERCONDUCTING PLATE
The effects of the superconducting plate shape on the magnetic shielding are investigated.
The plate shape is assumed to be axially symmetric and the permeability of the plate is
assumed non-zero. A numerical code to calculate the magnetostatic field around the plate
is developed and the spatial distributions of the decay factors are calculated by means of
the code. The results of computations show that the magnetic shielding becomes large
with the increase of triangularity and with the decrease of ellipticity
Comparison of microwave properties of YBCO films on MgO and LaAlO3 substrates
To obtain low loss and better performance of high temperature superconducting (HTS) microwave devices, higher quality HTS thin films are required. As it is well known, properties of HTS films and effects of temperature, frequency and microwave power on the properties depend on the type of substrate used and the method of deposition. YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films on lanthanum aluminate (LAO) are considered to have lowest losses, and are commonly used for HTS planar filters for cellular phone base stations. We have measured the surface resistance (Rs) of high quality YBCO thin films, deposited on LAO and MgO substrates, as a function of frequency, temperature and microwave power to assess the quality of YBCO films on the lower cost MgO substrates for possible applications in communication systems
