Summary

REFLECTANCE PREDICTIONS BASED ON 2 OF THE MAJOR THEORIES OF THE SUPERCONDUCTING STATE, THE CLASSICAL DRUDE-LONDON THEORY AND THE QUANTUM-MECHANICAL MATTIS-BARDEEN THEORY, ARE COMPARED WITH THE AVAILABLE EXPERIMENTAL DATA TO DETERMINE THE BEST METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE RADIATIVE PROPERTIES OF THIN-FILM YBCO. THE MATTIS-BARDEEN THEORY IS MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THE DRUDE-LONDON THEORY IN PREDICTING THE REFLECTANCE. CONSEQUENTLY, APPROXIMATE FORMULAE FOR THE MATTIS-BARDEEN THEORY ARE DEVELOPED, THUS ENHANCING THE THEORY'S USEFULNESS FOR ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS.
