Abstract

The method of magnetically modulated microwave absorption (MMMA) has been used here to measure the lower Josephson critical field in a YBaCuO superconductor. The measurements based on the changes in the width of the hysteresis of the MMMA signal which were observed while increasing the range of the magnetic field sweep were carried out. The effects observed by us are explained using the Clem model of the cubic array of superconducting grains. Also, a simple interpretation of the influence of the magnetic modulation on the measured value of the lower Josephson critical field is provided.
