LaAlO 3 thin films have been deposited on (100) LaAlO 3 substrates by pulsed laser ablation. The deposited films showed the (h00) preferential orientations. Surface profiles indicated that the surface roughness of the films decreased with the increase of the oxygen partial pressure. High quality superconducting YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 thin films have been successfully deposited by laser ablation on the (100) LaAlO 3 substrates with the LaAlO 3 layers.

Superconducting multilayers, whose growth and structure are determined by the kinetic deposition instead by thermodynamics, are a powerful tool for investigating high T c superconductors (HTSC) properties. By means of Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), we grew such materials alternating infinite layer phases both pure and doped, to supply CuO 2 planes and charge reservoir (CR) blocks respectively. We found out that using chemically doped CR leads to a semiconducting behavior, whereas oxygen doping seems to be much more effective, since the BaCuO 2 infinite phase, grown in high oxygen partial pressure, does actually bring about a superconducting behavior. We deposited BaCuO 2/ CaCuO 2 superlattices with various periodicities and studied their transport and structural properties. By varying the deposition parameters, we reached both kinetic and thermodynamic growth and we observed semiconducting and superconducting behaviors.

Planar-type thin film Bi-Mn-Co-doped ZnO varistors were fabricated on a silica glass substrate or a sintered alumina substrate using a visible light (532 nm) pulsed laser ablation method. The deposited thin films were annealed at 800°C or 900°C in air. For the thin films deposited on alumina substrates and then annealed, the contents of Bi and Mn decreased compared with those of the as-deposited films. Voltage-current (V-I) characteristics of the thin-film varistor fabricated on the alumina substrates and annealed showed nonlinearity. The nonlinearity index α was approximately 10 for the thin film deposited on the alumina substrate and annealed at 800°C in air using a target of ZnO doped with 2.5 mol% Bi2O3, 0.5 mol% MnO2 and 0.2 mol% Co3O4. Moreover, the current density of 20 A/cm3 was relatively high for safety use.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.
