Electrodynamics of Metallic Superconductors
Keywords:
metallic superconductors,insulator,absorption,radiationAbstract
The theoretical and experimental aspects of the microwave, terahertz, and
infrared properties of superconductors are discussed.Electrodynamics can provide
information about the superconducting condensate as well as about the quasiparticles. The
aim is to understand the frequency dependence of the complex conductivity, the change
with temperature and time, and its dependence on material parameters.
