A high Q-factor microwave resonator in a high magnetic field could be of great use in a wide range of fields, from accelerator design to axion dark matter search. The natural choice of material for the superconducting cavity to be placed in a high field is a high temperature superconductor (HTS) with a high critical field. The deposition, however, of a high-quality, grain-aligned HTS film on a three-dimensional surface is technically challenging. We have fabricated a polygon-shaped resonant cavity with commercial YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ (YBCO) tapes covering the entire inner wall and measured the Q-factor at 4 K at 6.93 GHz as a function of an external DC magnetic field. We demonstrated that the high Q-factor of the superconducting YBCO cavity showed no significant degradation from 1 T up to 8 T. This is the first indication of the possible applications of HTS technology to the research areas requiring a strong magnetic field at high radio frequencies.

A high-quality factor microwave resonator in the presence of a strong magnetic field could have a wide range of applications, such as axion dark matter searches where the two aspects must coexist to enhance the experimental sensitivity. We introduce
a polygon-shaped cavity design with bi-axially textured YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-x}$ superconducting tapes covering the entire inner wall. Using a 12-sided polygon cavity, we obtain substantially improved quality factors of the TM$_{010}$ mode at 6.9 GHz at 4 K with respect to a copper cavity and observe no considerable degradation in the presence of magnetic fields up to 8 T. This corresponds to the first demonstration of practical applications of superconducting radio frequency technology for axion and other research areas requiring low loss in a strong magnetic field. We address the importance of the successful demonstration and discuss further improvements.
We demonstrate a superconducting (SC) microwave (mw) cavity that can accelerate the dark matter search by maintaining superconductivity in a high DC magnetic field. We used high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) wit
h a phase transition temperature of 90K to prevent SC failure by the magnetic field. Since the direct deposition of HTSC film on the metallic mw cavity is very difficult, we used the commercial HTSC tapes which are flexible metallic tapes coated with HTSC thin films. We fabricated resonating cavity ($f_{TM010}$ ~ 6.89 GHz) with a third of the inner wall covered by YBCO tapes and measured the quality factor (Q factor) at 4K temperature, varying the DC magnetic field from 0 to 8 tesla. There was no significant quality (Q) factor drop and the superconductivity was well maintained even in 8 tesla magnetic field. This implies the possibility of good performance of HTSC mw resonant cavity under a strong magnetic field for axion detection.
A high Q-factor microwave resonator in a high magnetic field could be used in a wide range of applications, especially for enhancing the scanning speed in axion dark matter research. In this letter, we introduce a polygon-shaped resonant cavity with
commercial YBCO tapes covering the entire inner wall. We demonstrated that the maximum Q-factor (TM$_{010}$, 6.93 GHz) of the superconducting YBCO cavity was about 6 times higher than that of a copper cavity and showed no significant degradation up to 8 T at 4 K. This is the first indication of the possible applications of HTS technology to the research areas requiring low loss in a strong magnetic field at high radio frequencies.
Grain boundaries in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ superconducting films are considered as Josephson junctions with a critical current density $j_c(x)$ alternating along the junction. A self-generated magnetic flux is treated both analytically and numericall
y for an almost periodic distribution of $j_c(x)$. We obtained a magnetic flux-pattern similar to the one which was recently observed experimentally.
Polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction has been used to search for magnetic order in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ superconductors. Most of the measurements were made on a high quality crystal of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.6}$. It is shown that this crystal
has highly ordered ortho-II chain order, and a sharp superconducting transition. Inelastic scattering measurements display a very clean spin-gap and pseudogap with any intensity at 10 meV being 50 times smaller than the resonance intensity. The crystal shows a complicated magnetic order that appears to have three components. A magnetic phase is found at high temperatures that seems to stem from an impurity with a moment that is in the $a$-$b$ plane, but disordered on the crystal lattice. A second ordering occurs near the pseudogap temperature that has a shorter correlation length than the high temperature phase and a moment direction that is at least partly along the c-axis of the crystal. Its moment direction, temperature dependence, and Bragg intensities suggest that it may stem from orbital ordering of the $d$-density wave (DDW) type. An additional intensity increase occurs below the superconducting transition. The magnetic intensity in these phases does not change noticeably in a 7 Tesla magnetic field aligned approximately along the c-axis. Searches for magnetic order in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$ show no signal while a small magnetic intensity is found in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.45}$ that is consistent with c-axis directed magnetic order. The results are contrasted with other recent neutron measurements.
