Description

A microwave technique is described which provides a novel, contactless procedure for the characterization of high Tc ceramic superconductors. The method utilizes a standard electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. The output signal is proportional to changes in the magnetically-modulated microwave reflection (MMR). The MMR methodology appears to have the potential for becoming a quick highly-sensitive, and non-abrasive technique for determining the Tc and the relative superconducting quality of a large number of samples. The technique is illustrated by its application to variously prepared Yba2CU3O- x samples
