A technique using cavity perturbation of a cooled sapphire disk resonator has been developed to measure the surface impedance Zs=Rs+iXs of high-temperature superconducting thin films. The resonator is excited in the TE011 mode at 14.4 GHz and induces a-b plane screening currents in the sample. The resonator and its enclosure are maintained at 4.2 K while the sample is heated independently on a movable sapphire rod. The thermal isolation of the sample and resonator leaves the measurement virtually free of systematic error and permits the use of a superconducting niobium shield. The combination of low dielectric loss sapphire and a superconducting enclosure results in typical unloaded quality factors (Q) of several million. The ability to move the sample makes the sensitivity variable, allowing surface resistance values from 5 μΩ to several Ω to be measured. Background loss can also be accurately determined at the time of experiment by withdrawing the sample from the influence of the resonator. In addition,...
