Abstract

The real $R_{\ab{s}}(T)$ and imaginary $X_{\ab{s}}(T)$ parts of the surface impedance $Z_{\ab{s}}(T)=R_{\ab{s}}(T)+iX_{\ab{s}}(T)$ in polycrystalline $\chem{MgB_2}$ samples of different density with the critical temperature $T_{\ab{c}}\approx 38$ $\un{K}$ are measured at the frequency of 9.4 $\un{GHz}$ and in the temperature range $5\le T<200$ $\un{K}$ . The normal skin-effect condition $R_{\ab{s}}(T)=X_{\ab{s}}(T)$ at $T\ge T_{\ab{c}}$ holds only for the samples of the highest density with roughness sizes not more than 0.1 $\un{\mu m}$ . For such samples extrapolation $T\rightarrow 0$ of the linear at $T<T_{\ab{c}}/2$ temperature dependences $\lambda_{\ab{L}}(T)=X_{\ab{s}}(T)/\omega\mu_0$ and $R_{\ab{s}}(T)$ results in values of the London penetration depth $\lambda_{\ab{L}}(0)\approx 600$ $\un{\AA}$ and residual surface resistance $R_{\ab{res}}\approx 0.8$ $\un{m\Omega}$ . In the entire temperature range the dependences $R_{\ab{s}}(T)$ and $X_{\ab{s}}(T)$ are well described by the modified two-fluid model.
