High-T c superconducting thin films of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 were grown in-situ on (100) SrTiO 3 substrates by Nedymium:yttrium aluminum garnet [Nd:YAG] laser ablation. The effects of the substrate temperature on the transition temperature, microcrystalline structure and surface morphology of the films were discussed. Best results were obtained in the 730°–770°C range. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that these films were highly c-oriented with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface. At the optimum substrate temperature, a very smooth morphology with only a few small particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The zero resistance temperature of these films were ≥ 90 K with a narrow transition width and the ac susceptibility measurement also gave the same result. The highest critical current density obtained at 77 K and zero magnetic field was 3.8 × 106 A/cm 2.

ABSTRACTA comparison of the use of three different coordination compounds of copper as precursors for the sol-gel synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7-δ has been made. For yttrium, the tris(isopropoxide) was used exclusively, while the use of both Ba(O-i-Pr)2 and Ba(OCH2CH2OEt)2 (prepared in situ from Ba metal) as sources for Ba were studied. After dissolving Y(O-i-pr)3, a Ba source, and the copper(I) alkoxide, [Cu(O-i-Bu)]4, hydrolysis led immediately to an orange gelatinous solid which yielded YBa2Cu3O7-δ upon firing in oxygen. Copper(II) acetate was found to give heterogeneous mixtures under our conditions and was not further studied. Copper(II) acac (acac = acetylacetonate) yielded the best results. Partially hydrolyzed solutions of Cu(acac)2, Ba(OCH2CH2OEt)2, and Y(O-i-pr)3 were spin coated on SrTi03 (100) and fired under oxygen to give oriented (b axis normal to the surface) thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ. The onset of superconductivity for the films was 92 K, but they did not reach zero resistance until much lower temperatures.

ABSTRACTThin films of YBCO were prepared using a mass-spectrometer controlled coevapora-tion/MBE process with atomic oxygen. Under the conditions of low pressure, necessary for mass-spectrometer rate control, it is shown that an atomic oxygen beam source can be utilized in order to grow high quality thin films of YBCO as well as multi-layer structures involving YBCO and Y2O3. Values of Tc = 88.5 K and Jc = 6–106 A/cm2 at 77 K were determined for a strip with a width of 10 μm of YBCO deposited on a LaAlO3 substrate. Film structure is analyzed by XRD and rocking curve measurements. Magnetic characterization of films and multi-layer structures are reported.
