We report on the growth of MgB 2 thin films by means of Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) and Electron Beam (EB) deposition techniques. In order to develop an in-situ deposition procedure both techniques have been exploited following two approaches: the "as grown" procedure, where the superconducting phase is formed during the film growth, and no further process is performed, and the "annealing" procedure, where precursor layers are deposited and annealed in argon atmosphere. In the case of EB evaporated films, the "as grown" procedure revealed to be inadequate, because of the low reactivity of the thermally evaporated species and the high magnesium volatility. On the contrary, using PLD, the higher reactivity of the plasma species promotes the formation of the superconducting phase at deposition temperature as low as 350°C. In the "annealing" procedure, different kinds of precursor layers have been studied, in order to reduce and prevent the fast Mg evaporation at high temperature. Different annealing processes were investigated in order to promote the interdiffusion and reaction between Mg and B. The films were characterised by means of resistivity measurements and X-ray analyses. The surface morphology was observed by SEM microscopy.

MgB2 thin films have been coated on Nb substrates without any buffer layers. An in situ pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method was used to prepare the coating. The interface between films and substrates has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface impedance has been measured for the MgB2 films on Nb substrates. The results were discussed with regard to the potential large scale applications in superconducting RF cavities.

AbstractWe have investigated the formation of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films by real-time X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments while annealing differently deposited and composed stacked elemental layer (SEL) precursors.The in-situ measurements during the selenization of bi-layered Cu/In precursors reveal, that the semiconductor formation process is similar for precursors with thermally evaporated or sputtered indium. In both cases, the formation of binary copper and indium selenides is observed at temperatures around the melting point of selenium. After subsequent selenium transfer reactions, the chalcopyrite CuInSe2 is formed from the educt phases Cu2-xSe and InSe.The addition of gallium leads to the formation of the intermetallic precursor phase Cu9Ga4, which reduces the overall amount of copper and gallium selenides at process temperatures above 500 K. This causes an ongoing selenization in the indium selenium subsystem, which results in the formation of CuInSe2 from the educt phases Cu2-xSe and the selenium richest indium selenide g-In2Se3.
