ABSTRACTPraseodymium doped CaFe2As2 (122 structure) and CaFeAs2 (112 structure) are characterized by modulated Low Magnetic Field Microwave Absorption (LFMA) spectroscopy. In both (Pr,Ca)122 and (Pr,Ca)112 structures, a strong hysteretic LFMA is found, with a TcH of ∼30 K and ∼26 K, respectively. However, in (Pr,Ca)122, measurements also show an unusual Narrow Peak (NP) LFMA signal appearing at higher temperatures, above the lower TcH superconducting state until a TcNP of 49 K. We associate this NP LFMA with interfacial superconductivity, which has been found previously by highly anisotropic magnetization measurements. Furthermore, the absence of NP in (Pr,Ca)112 correlates with the absence of an interfacial phase. These results give useful information about the microwave signature of interfacial superconductivity present in the (Pr,Ca)122 system, and may form a roadmap towards a stabilized high temperature superconducting phase in pnictides.

ABSTRACTLow-field non-resonant microwave absorption in an EPR spectrometer has been observed in the superconducting state of different samples of the new high-T oxides, YBa2Cu3O7-δ and La1.8Sr0.2CuO4. It has been attributed to flux slippage occurring at the Josephson junctions existing in the granular composite material. The dependence on particle size, temperature, microwave power, DC modulation amplitude and magnetic field has been studied.

Non-resonant microwave absorption as a function of temperature and magnetic field has been studied in a Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O film prepared by MOCVD. A maximum in the absorption as a function of temperature was observed at approximately 60 K. An average Josephson loop diameter of about 0.9~1.5 microns was inferred from the experimental results. The absorption was found to depend on the angle of the film plane relative to the applied field.
