AbstractThe kinetics of oxidation in Yba2Cu3O7-x thin films in the presence of molecular and atomic oxygen ambients have been studied. The resistivity of c-axis, a-axis, and mixed a+c axis oriented films, deposited in-situ by off-axis magnetron sputtering, was measured as a function of time subsequent to a change in the ambient conditions. The oxidation process is shown to be thermally activated and can be characterized by a diffusion model with an activation energy which varies from approximately 1.2eV in the presence of molecular oxygen to 0.6eV for a flux of 2×1015 oxygen atoms/cm2sec. In both cases, diffusivity is found to be insensitive to oxygen stoichiometry, but the rate of oxidation is found to be sensitive to the microstructure and orientation of the films.
