Abstract The presence of vortices is known to have an important effect upon the rf surface impedanceZ s of type-II superconductors. In this paper we summarize a new theoretical approach that permits the influence of flux flow, flux pinning, and flux creep uponZ s =R s -iX s to be calculated over a wide range of angular frequenciesω, magnetic inductionsB, and temperaturesT. The normal-fluid excitations and the nonlocality of vortex-generated fields are also accounted for. The physics is conveniently described in terms of a complex penetration depthλ(ɛ, B, T), to which the surface impedance is related viaZ s = −iμ 0ɛλ(ω,B,T). We limit our attention to the linear response of the superconductor in the low-rf-power regime for which the surface impedance is power-independent.
