AbstractHigh-purity (99.999%) Y2O3 powder is used as a starting material for fabricating high-temperature superconductors (HTS), and is frequently found as an unreacted second phase in the final product. We have found that as-received Y2O3 contains Tb3+ paramagnetic impurity ions as determined by TSL and emission-spectra measurements. Deep luminescence traps (presumably Tb4+ ions) are formed in Y2O3 when it is exposed to frays, x rays, or fluorescent lights. These deep traps can only be removed by annealing the material to near 1600°C. Given the short coherence length of HTS it is possible that order-of-magnitude variations in the Tb impurity concentration of starting materials may affect the ultimate value of surface resistance (Rs).

Recent experiments on the surface impedance of the high temperature superconductors are summarized. The overall temperature dependence of the penetration depth is in broad qualitative agreement with conventional pairing, but with an anomolous power law behavior observed at low temperatures. The surface resistance is orders of magnitude larger than estimates based on the Mattis-Bardeen theory. One possibility is unconventional pairing, but structural inhomogenities are the most likely explanation for the experimental results.
