dc.descriptionThe response of superconducting aluminum to electromagnetic radiation is investigated in a broad frequency (45 MHz to 40 GHz) and temperature range ($T>T_c/2$), by measuring the complex conductivity. While the imaginary part probes the superfluid density (Cooper-pairs), the real part monitors the opening of the superconducting energy gap and -- most important here -- the zero-frequency quasi-particle response. Varying the mean free path gives some insight into the dynamics, scattering and coherence effects of the quasi-particles in the superconducting state.
