AbstractThin film production by aerosol deposition is a simple, non‐vacuum method, which under certain conditions of the process parameters, can be considered as a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. In this paper we describe the formation of superconducting thin films by aerosol deposition in the CVD regime by using metal‐organic precursors. The best results were obtained with the metal β‐diketonates of Y, Ba and Cu dissolved in butylacetate. This solution was nebulized and sprayed on a heated Si‐substrate with a Zr02‐buffer layer at a temperature of 450 C. After deposition a final heat treatment at a temperature of 800 C was applied. The resulting superconducting film has a Tc>2ero of 75 K.

AbstractSuperconducting thin films of Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10−x (TL-2223) have been grown on single crystal (110) LaAlO3 using a two-step process. Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox precursor films are deposited via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in a horizontal hot walled reactor. The second generation precursors Ba(hfa)2•tet, Ca(hfa)2•tet, and Cu(hfa)2 (hfa = hexafluoroacetylacetonate, tet = tetraglyme) were used as volatile metal sources due to their superior volatility and stability. Tl was introduced into the film via a high temperature post anneal in the presence of a Tl2O3:BaO:CaO:CuO pellet (1:2:2:3 ratio). Low O2 partial pressures were used to reduce the temperature in which the TI-2223 phase forms and to improve the surface morphology associated with a liquid phase intermediate. Films are highly oriented with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate and a-b axis epitaxy is seen from x-ray φ- scans. The best films have a resistively measured Tc of 115K and a magnetically derived Jc of 6×105 A/cm2 (77K, 0 T). Preliminary surface resistance measurements, using parallel plate techniques, give Rs = 0.35 mΩ at 5K (ω = 10 GHz).

A novel two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition process was used in this study to prepare Sr1−xBaxNb2O6 (SBN) thin films. Two thin layers of single-phase SrNb2O6 and BaNb2O6 were deposited alternately on a silicon substrate, and the solid solution of SBN was obtained by high-temperature annealing. The stoichiometry control of the SrNb2O6 and the BaNb2O6 thin films was achieved through deposition process control, according to the evaporation characteristics of double metal alkoxide. The evaporation behavior of double metal alkoxide precursors SrNb2(1-OC4H9)12 and BaNb2(1-OC4H9)12 was studied, and the results were compared with the evaporation of single alkoxide Nb(1-OC4H9)5.
