Morphological and structural properties of high quality YBCO thin films
Source abstract
Abstract
High-quality YBCO thin films have been grown by Inverted Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering (ICMS) on LaAlO3(100), SrTiO3(100), SrTiO3(110), and MgO(100) substrates. Transition temperatures of c-axis films exceed 90 K, and transition widths are within 1 K. Critical currents range up to 5 × 106 A/cm2 at 77 K. Structural and morphological features analyzed by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively, are found to be strongly dependent on film orientation and deposition temperature. In order to understand such dependence, a simple interpretation is proposed in terms of Gibbs energies and growth dynamics of the nucleation process.
