Effects of degraded edges in strips of high‐temperature superconducting films at microwave frequencies

Journal article, 1995

A simple model is proposed to analyzemicrowave properties of thin superconducting strips with degraded edge regions. A high resistance edge is assumed in the superconducting strip. It is shown that with increased temperature more current will flow inside the superconducting strip away from the damaged edge resulting in a reduction of effective surfaceresistance.
