Abstract
The low-temperature surface resistance R s of d-wave superconductors is calculated as function of frequency assuming normal state quasiparticle mean free paths l in excess of the penetration depth. Results depend strongly on the geometric configuration. In the clean limit, two contributions to R s with different temperature dependencies are identified: photon absorption by quasiparticles and pair breaking. The size of nonlocal corrections, which can be positive or negative depending on frequency decreases for given l as the scattering phase shift δ N is increased. However, except in the unitarity limit δ N =0.5π, nonlocal effects should be observable.
