Abstract

A phenomenological model is proposed which describes the effect of both dc and rf magnetic fields H on the microwave surface impedance, Zs=Rs+jXs, of a superconductor containing weak links. Two types of the weak links are considered; a weak link between two grains, shunted by another grain, and a nonshunted weak link. In both cases, the dependences of Rs and Xs on applied H were found to be anomalous. Under certain conditions, the values of Zs(H) can fall below the zero-field values. Comparison with experiment is performed, and very good qualitative and (in some cases) quantitative agreement is found.
