Abstract

Evidence of weak link effects in epitaxial thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-yon LaAlO3 is obtained from magnetically modulated resistance (MMR) measurements. This result suggests that weak links could provide a mechanism for the residual microwave loss in high quality superconducting thin films which contain predominantly low angle grain boundaries.
