Abstract: 

The subject and purpose of the work. A review of the main results obtained by the authors in the process of microwave (MW) research of unconventional superconductors and the development of MW devices based on cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) over the past 10–15 years is presented.

Methods and methodology of work. Experimental studies were carried out by the methods of impedance measurements of superconducting samples. To this end, the authors developed two measurement techniques in the mm wavelength range: based on quasi-optical sapphire resonators and using the feature of reflection of a p-polarized wave from the surface of a superconductor at grazing angles of incidence.

The results of the work.. The epitaxial films of the cuprate YBa2Cu3O7–d superconductor and Fe-containing superconductors in the form of single crystals of pnictide Ba (Fe0.926Co0.074)2As2 and epitaxial films of chalcogenide FeSexTe1–x (x = 0.5 and 0.7) are investigated. The results of the MW response of the electrodynamic structures with the samples under study served as the basis for finding the complex conductivity, including fluctuation one, and physical quantities related to it. In general, the results obtained confirm the scenario of d-wave symmetry of the gap function for cuprate superconductors and s±-wave symmetry for Fe superconductors. However, a number of detected features and effects, namely, an unusual frequency dependence of the residual surface resistance in YBa2Cu3O7–d in the form of w3./2, the growth of quasiparticle conductivity with decreasing temperature, starting from the critical one, as well as the avalanche-like transition from the superconducting to the strongly dissipative state in the nonlinear coplanar transmission line, require further study.

New MW devices based on cuprate HTS films in the mm wavelength range have been developed and created: 1) a quasi-optical sapphire resonator with a radial gap and HTS end walls for studying Fe – superconductors in the form of small (1–2 mm in the plane a–b) samples; 2) planar quasi-optical resonator; 3) a band-pass filter with an E-plane insert in a cross-shaped waveguide. The possibility of contactless testing at room temperature of the homogeneity of the properties of massive superconductors is also shown.

Conclusion. The temperature dependence of the complex conductivity of YBa2Cu3O7–d, Ba (Fe0.926Co0.074)2As2 and FeSexTe1–x (x = 0.5 and 0.7) superconductors and physical quantities related with it was obtained, which allows us to judge the confirmation of the corresponding wave symmetry scenarios of gap function function in the investigated superconductors. However, a number of detected features and effects require further study. The previously expressed assessment of the possibility of creating passive HTS-based MW devices with operating frequencies up to 40 GHz has been experimentally confirmed.
