Abstract Surface impedance data at 19 and 87 GHz of high-quality epitaxial YBCO films on different substrates are compared with data for Nb3Sn films on sapphire in terms of pair and quasiparticle (qp) transport. Surface resistance R s and penetration depth λ of YBCO are strongly affected by temperature dependent qp scattering, which is depressed in films with enhanced lattice strain. All films showed a comparable residual resistance R res(19 GHz)∼90 μΩ constituting a qp reservoir which is likely to be caused by the electronic configuration and by impurities. Subtracting R res from R s (T) revealed activated behavior with a reduced energy gap Δ0/k B T c∼0.9 for a film on sapphire, but power-law behavior for the other films. The penetration depth did not reveal power-law dependences at T≤0.5 ·T c, but was consistent with a reduced energy gap of 0.45 for a film on MgO. The increase of λ(T) at T≥0.5 · T c was related to qp scattering, which also caused an extremal conductivity σ1(T). A shoulder in λ(T) at T=(0.6–0.7) · T c confirmed evidence for the existence of two superconducting bands. The magnetic-field induced recovery of λ(B) of various YBCO films hinted for an important role of magnetic scattering. The results are in contradiction to a d-wave symmetry of the order parameter, at least for the chain band.
