Abstract

We have fabricated and tested microwave structures utilizing superconducting thin films of Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 (BKBO). A high quality BKBO thin film (Tc > 28K, Jc > 1MA/cm2) grown by pulsed laser deposition on a (100) MgO substrate was patterned into a resonator and coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line. The 2.5 mm coplanar transmission line had an insertion loss of -2.1dB at 20GHz and 21K. The resonator showed an unloaded Q (quality factor) of 230 at 15K and 15.8GHz. We were only able to infer that the surface impedance (Rs) ≤ 34mΩ at 15K, since the resonator was limited by radiation losses rather than conductor losses.
