Abstract

The effect of high-power surface acoustic waves (SAW) on the superconducting state of Pb films has been studied in different transverse magnetic fields. It was established that a high-intensity sound wave affects the T c of the film and the character of the superconducting transition, and that the observed changes are the larger, the higher is the SAW intensity. It was found that high-power SAW are capable of inducing vortex depinning in the film and reducing the critical current. Various mechanisms which are responsible for the nature of these effects are discussed.
