Fabrication and characterization of YBCO thin film on CeO{sub 2}/a-plane sapphire substrate

Abstract

We have examined the fabrication conditions of epitaxial CeO{sub 2} films on a-plane sapphire substrates, and also examined epitaxial growth of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}}(YBCO) films on CeO{sub 2}/a-plane sapphire substrate. The {theta}/2{theta} XRD analysis of these composite films revealed that grains of the CeO{sub 2} and YBCO on CeO{sub 2}/a-plane sapphire substrate were perpendicular to the substrate. From the phi-scan XRD measurement, we found that the four 1 0 2 phi-scan peaks of the YBCO film were observed and the peak positions were shifted by 45 deg. compared with those of the CeO{sub 2} films. From the peak shifts we could estimate that the angle between the [1 0 0] axis of the CeO{sub 2} and the [1 0 0] axis of the YBCO was 45 deg. . From temperature dependence of resistivity of the YBCO/CeO{sub 2}/a-plane sapphire substrates, we obtained a zero-resistance temperature (T{sub C}) of 88.6 K. We found that their crystallinity and critical temperature (T{sub C}) were quite similar to those of YBCO film on CeO{sub 2}/r-plane sapphire substrate. At the moment, YBCO thin films on a-plane sapphire are inferior to YBCO thin film on r-plane sapphire in terms of surface resistance.
