Abstract

Dc magnetic field, temperature, and magnetic history dependencies of the millimeter-wave surface resistance have been measured in high quality grain-aligned and in polycrystalline YBa2Cu3Ox bulk material. The measurements were carried at 75 GHz using the endplate of the cavity replacement method. The data is interpreted in terms of the presence of intra- and inter-grain types of weak links. The values of characteristic critical fields of the bulk and the weak link junctions are determined and discussed.
