Effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on surface resistance of DyBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films at microwave frequencies
We report the observation of a propounced peak in surface resistance at microwave frequencies of 4.88 GHz and 9.55 GHz and its disappearance after irradiation with swift ions in laser ablated DyBa2Cu3O7-δ (DBCO) ...

Peak effect at microwave frequencies in swift heavy ion irradiated YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films
The vortex dynamics at microwave frequencies in YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films have been studied. We observe a peak in the microwave (4.88 and 9.55 GHz) surface resistance in some films in magnetic fields up to 0.8 T. ...
