Double resonant behavior of microstrip ring resonator in Tl-based high T c superconducting films

Abstract
High T c Tl–Ba–Ca–Cu–O superconducting thin films have been made by the dc magnetron sputtering followed by postannealing. In this study, a Tl‐based microstrip ring resonator was fabricated by using standard microelectronicphotolithographic patterning and wet chemical etching. Experimental results indicated that these ring resonators exhibit the best unloaded Q of 3269 at its resonant frequency of 3.35 GHz and some other samples display the double resonant behavior at 77 K. The frequency difference of the double resonant peaks depends on the input microwave power, and the splitting is ascribed to spatial variations in the film microstructure. The physical properties of the films are about 1 μm thick, as high as 105 K transition temperature, and greater than 105 A/cm2 current density at zero magnetic field and 77 K.
