Reflection of an electromagnetic wave by a layered superconductor-dielectric structure
А. Г. Глущенко, M. V. Golovkina · Technical Physics Letters · 1998
An analysis is made of the propagation of an electromagnetic wave through an infinite periodic superconductor-dielectric structure consisting of alternating layers of dielectric and thin layers of type II superconductor. The presence of thin layers of superconductor is taken into account by introducing a suitable boundary condition. It is observed that the reflection coefficient depends abruptly on the angle of incidence of the wave, the thickness of the superconducting film, and the external magnetic field.
