On the origin of low field microwave absorption in the high Tc superconductors

Description

It is shown that the strong signal near zerofield in EPR spectrometric measurements of high Tc superconductors is made up of predominant nonresonant reflection of microwaves below Tc under the balanced bridge conditions and a resonant absorption at X-band. The non resonant reflection is associated with the transformation of the compound from Meissner phase to mixed phase. The role of hole trapped oxygen centers in the resonant part of the low field signal was examined by studying the EPR of (CuO + KO2) system. A clear evidence is presented for a low filed resonance absorption arising due to exchange interaction of Cu2+ and O- in (CuO + KO2) heated to 473 K
