Abstract
The technique of non-contact broadband transmission line flip-chip spectroscopy is utilized to probe resonances of mm-sized square resonators fabricated from strongly disordered molybdenum carbide films in the GHz frequency range. The temperature dependence of the resonances was modeled by the surface impedance of the thin films via the complex conductivity of disordered superconductors, which reflects the Dynes superconducting density of states of these superconductors. The obtained Dynes broadening parameters relate reasonably well to those known from scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements. The eigenmodes of the 2D resonator were visualized by EM model in Sonnet software.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
