Optimization of the deposition conditions and structural characterization of Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x} thin superconducting films
- Simon Fraser Univ., British Columbia (Canada)
Two series of Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub z} thin films deposited on (001) LaAlO{sub 3} single crystals by excimer laser ablation under two different protocols have been investigated. The research has yielded well defined deposition conditions in terms of oxygen partial pressure p(O{sub 2}) and substrate temperature of the deposition process T{sub h}, for the growth of high quality epitaxial films of YBCO. The films grown under conditions close to optimal for both j{sub c} and T{sub c} exhibited T{sub c}{ge}91 K and j{sub c}{ge}4 x 10{sup 6} A/cm{sup 2}, at 77 K. Close correlations between the structural quality of the film, the growth parameters (p(O{sub 2}), T{sub h}) and j{sub c} and T{sub c} have been found.
