Abstract EN

The theoretical and experimental aspects of the microwave, terahertz, and infrared properties of superconductors are discussed.

Electrodynamics can provide information about the superconducting condensate as well as about the quasiparticles.

The aim is to understand the frequency dependence of the complex conductivity, the change with temperature and time, and its dependence on material parameters.

We confine ourselves to conventional metallic superconductors, in particular, Nb and related nitrides and review the seminal papers but also highlight latest developments and recent experimental achievements.

The possibility to produce well-defined thin films of metallic superconductors that can be tuned in their properties allows the exploration of fundamental issues, such as the superconductor-insulator transition; furthermore it provides the basis for the development of novel and advanced applications, for instance, superconducting single-photon detectors.
