We report measurements of the surface impedance Z s= R s+ iωλ’of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ thin films in an externally applied dc magnetic field B (parallel to the c axis) using a stripline resonator. At T= 4.3 K we obtain the surface resistance R s and the microwave penetration depth λ’as a function of applied dc field up to 5 T and as a function of microwave frequency f from 1.2 to 20 GHz. While λ’increases linearly with B for B> 1 T at all frequencies, R s is found to be roughly∝ B α (f), where α (f)< 1 for f≤ 10 GHz and α (f)≊ 1 for f≥ 10 GHz. In zero dc field, R s∝ f 2. For B> 1 T, R s shows a much weaker dependence on f. The results for Z s (f, T, B) have been quantitatively explained using a model developed by Coffey and Clem, based on a self-consistent treatment of vortex dynamics that includes the influence of vortex pinning, viscous drag, and flux creep. The pinning force constant α p, the pinning frequency ω p, and the pinning activation energy U 0 (T, B) are obtained through the fitting procedure. We find that the effects of thermally activated flux creep at 4.3 K upon the surface resistance are significant. The low U 0≊ 35 K that we determine is interpreted as arising from the interaction of the vortex lattice with a dense random pinning potential as described in the collective-pinning theory.
