Abstract: | It is shown that a superconductor cannot be simply treated as a low-loss conductor; rather, it should be treated as a negative dielectric material (with a negative dielectric constant). This approach is good only for vanishingly small field application with frequency significantly smaller than gap frequency and temperature not too close to the critical temperature of the superconductor. The electromagnetics of negative dielectric materials are discussed in terms of causality, perturbation technique, surface impedance, time-domain interpretation of current components, and computational electrodynamics |
