Studies of parallel and tilted vortices in type-II superconductors by microwave absorption

Abstract
A general study is made of the observation of size effects in type-II superconducting films by microwave absorption. A new class of size effects is presented that we attribute to the interference of tilted vortices (generated by a tilted magnetic field on the sample) with the surface sheath. A putative geometrical model is presented, which is in good agreement with experimental data. An extension of this model is made to multilayered superconductive compounds (dichalcogenides).
