Abstract

In this paper we present the results of measurements of the microwave surface impedance of a powder sample and two films of MgB2. The powder sample has a Tc = 39 K and the films have Tc = 29 K and 38 K. These samples show different temperature dependences of the field penetration depth. Over a period of six months, the film with Tc = 38 K degraded to a Tc of 35 K. We compare the results on all samples with data obtained elsewhere and discuss the implications as far as is possible at this stage.
