Abstract

The high frequency resistance of lead, indium, and tin has been measured at frequencies in the vicinity of 9000 megacycles per second using resonant cavity techniques. Preliminary measurements on tin at 24,000 megacycles per second also have been made. The experimental techniques and measurement procedure are described. The effect of surface finishes is discussed for both the normal and superconducting regions. Data for the normal state are in general agreement with the Reuter-Sondheimer theory of the anomalous skin effect.

The high frequency resistance in the superconducting region was found to vary with frequency as the three-halves power rather than the predicted variation of the second power.
