    Notes: Electronic device applications of high-temperature superconducting cuprates require the production of patterned thin films that are stable and inert in various processing and operating environments; however, the superconducting rare-earth barium cuprates have been shown to decompose in water and to degrade in superconducting properties in a humid atmosphere. The thermodynamics that forms the driving force for the degradation is reviewed. Protective coatings or removable protective films can realize many applications and facilitate processing of superconducting devices. Diamondlike carbon films as well as amorphous carbon films are investigated as possible protective layers for YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO). Amorphous carbon (a-carbon) films deposited by evaporation are shown to protect superconducting YBCO films from degradation by humidity. The YBCO films with a-carbon coatings have been shown to have critical current densities four orders of magnitude higher than the uncoated YBCO films after 2 h at a stressing of 100% relative humidity (RH). A similar stressing for 44.5 h has conducting YBCO films but no longer has a measurable critical current density. The a-carbon coating is an effective passivation layer for short-term storage (with time 〈2 h and 100% RH and time (approximately-greater-than)4 h at 50% RH) at room temperature. The critical current is shown to be a better indicator for the degree of degradation, since the transition temperature remains relatively constant as long as there is enough superconducting YBCO to provide a percolation path for the supercurrent. Degrees of degradation were also assessed by scanning electron microscopy. The versatility of these carbon films lies in that their deposition and removal by plasma oxidation at room temperature are compatible with YBCO films. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Spinel and garnet single crystals of low dielectric constants and loss tangents have been investigated as possible substrate materials for the growth of the Y-Ba-Cu-O superconducting films. In addition to their desirable dielectric properties, these materials are chemically compatible with silicon and compound semiconductors and can be used as the interface materials for the integration of cuprate superconducting films with semiconducting devices. The Y-Ba-Cu-O films grown on (001) MgAl2O4 and (001) Y3Al5O12 from a co-evaporation deposition with a subsequent wet anneal exhibit superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc(R=0) of 57 and 74 K, respectively, while strongly (001) textured YBa2Cu3O7−x films from the in situ laser deposition grown on (001) MgAl2O4 and (001) Y3Al5O12 show superconducting transition temperatures Tc(R=0) of 77 and 87 K, respectively. Our work demonstrates that these two materials are viable substrates for the Y-Ba-Cu-O thin films in high frequency device applications.

    Notes: An updated Lagrangian finite-element formulation has been developed for time-dependent problems of soil consolidation involving finite deformations. Large plastic strains as well as rotations occur in such problems and nominal stress measures are introduced in the formulation to redefine stresses. This leads to corrective terms for equilibrium and yield violations in addition to geometric stiffening terms in the governing integral equations. The soil is considered to be either a linear elastic or an elastoplastic, critical-state material. Some simple numerical examples are studied to validate the formulation, followed by a detailed analysis of the problem of penetration of a pile into soil. The results of this problem are viewed with emphasis on the physical interpretation and practical significance.

    Notes: A time domain boundary element method (BEM) for evaluating stresses in an axisymmetric soil mass undergoing consolidation has been developed. Previous BEM work on axisymmetric poroelasticity for boundary displacements and pore pressures is extended to permit the computation of stresses at both boundary and interior points. The stress formulation preserves the surface-only discretization.The boundary displacement integral equation is progressively differentiated to obtain the related stress and strain integral equations. Explicit expressions for the steady-state axisymmetric fundamental solutions are derived in this process. The transient components of the integrands are obtained directly from the transformation of the three-dimensional kernels into a cylindrical system. Numerical implementation of these integral equations is carried out within a general purpose BEM computer code and several illustrative examples are presented to validate the method.
