    Notes: The growth quality of thin, superconducting YBaCuO films has been compared on random and (100) oriented yttrium-stabilized zirconia substrates using x-ray diffraction and ion channeling experiments. Superior growth is observed on (100) substrates with narrow mosaic distributions (0.4°) and a minimum yield value of 10% in the channeling experiment. The lattice matching required for epitaxial growth is achieved by azimuthal adjustment of the film plane with respect to the substrate. The superior growth is reflected in the film properties like the critical current density yielding values of 2×106 A/cm2 at 77 K.

    Notes: The growth features of YBa2Cu3O7−x thin films on (100) MgO substrates were studied by He ion channeling and x-ray diffraction measurements. A minimum yield value of 7% at 2 MeV He ion energy and a standard deviation of the crystallite misorientation of only 0.1° show that epitaxial growth (c-axis oriented) is achieved despite a large lattice mismatch of about 9% between the film and the substrate. Detailed studies of the energy dependence of the dechanneling yield at the film-substrate interface for films of different thickness reveal the presence of dislocations probably formed by strain relief in the initial state of growth. Stacking faults appear as the main defect structure in the bulk of the films.

    Notes: [Auszug] Understanding the behaviour of the dielectric constant in ferroelectric thin films remains a challenging problem. These ferroelectric materials have high static dielectric constants, and so are important for their applications in high-storage-density capacitor structures such as dynamic random ...

    Notes: We have grown superconducting Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4−y (NCCO) thin films on (11¯02) sapphire using a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layer, which has been demonstrated to be the best material for the growth of n-type superconducting NCCO thin films. The films are c-axis oriented, epitaxially grown with a small mosaic spread of 0.2° and a Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy channeling yield of ∼9%. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images reveal a sharp interface between NCCO and YSZ. The microwave surface resistance of NCCO films on YSZ buffered sapphire at 9.6 GHz is only 80 μΩ at 4.2 K in zero magnetic field, which is comparable to Y1Ba2Cu3O7−y films at similar reduced temperature, as a consequence of the decrease of structural imperfection in the film. The temperature dependence of the surface resistance and magnetic penetration depth in these films further confirms the s-wave BCS nature of NCCO.

    Notes: We have used a metal–oxide bilayer Raman scattering technique to study lattice dynamics in SrTiO3 thin films. The SrTiO3 thin films were epitaxially grown on a conducting metal–oxide layer which reflects the exciting laser beam so that it does not enter the LaAlO3 substrate. Raman scattering from the SrTiO3 thin films was clearly observed, including the first-order Raman peaks forbidden by the cubic symmetry in single crystals. We suggest that strain exists in the films, which changes the crystal symmetry and will affect the dielectric properties of the SrTiO3 thin films. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The optical response of single grain-boundary weak links in superconducting YBCO thin films has been investigated. At temperatures well below the transition temperature, the grain boundary exhibits an optical response which is qualitatively different from transition edge response. Using a resistively shunted-junction model for the grain-boundary weak link, we find that the optical response below the transition temperature can be described by radiation induced thermal modulation of the critical currents of the weak links. The dependence on the bias current and the temperature distinguishes the weak-link optical response from the transition edge optical response. We discuss novel aspects of a potential radiation detector based on grain-boundary weak-link junctions.

    Notes: We present a summary of our work on the dc electric field effect on the microwave properties of YBa2Cu3O7/SrTiO3 (YBCO/STO) layered structures. We briefly describe the fabrication of these layered structures, their structural and electrical properties related to the microwave response, and experimental methods to investigate dc electric field effects at microwave frequencies. Analysis of microwave measurements shows that dc electric field modulated changes in both the complex conductivity of YBCO layers and the dielectric properties of the STO layers contribute to the overall device response. At low temperatures (〈50 K) and large electric fields, good samples show linear gate-voltage modulation of microwave surface resistance and surface reactance attributable to field induced superconducting hole filling and depletion in the dominant YBCO layer.

    Notes: High quality epitaxial Nd2−xCexCuO4−y (NCCO) thin films were fabricated on various substrates by pulsed-laser deposition using N2O reactive gas. The similarities and dissimilarities of the superconducting and structural properties of NCCO films, on perovskite-type substrates such as LaAlO3, NdGaO3, and SrTiO3 and on a fluorite-type substrate of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), were investigated systematically as a function of film thickness by transport measurements and structural analysis. A remarkable reduction of Tc was observed when the film was thinner than a critical thickness, which strongly depends on the substrate. The critical thicknesses for which Tc is 80% of Tc max are 1200, 1000, 600, and 450 A(ring) for LaAlO3, NdGaO3, SrTiO3, and YSZ, respectively. YSZ turns out to be the best candidate for the growth of very thin NCCO films among the substrates studied. These results show a strong correlation between the strain and Tc in NCCO thin films and point the way to the fabrication of n-type superconducting electric field devices using ultrathin NCCO films.

    Notes: We report on ex situ fabrication of gold contacts onto patterned YBa2Cu3O7−x films. Gold seed layers were blanket sputtered onto photoresist defined over the patterned films. In a second photo process, openings were aligned to the original pads and 8-μm-thick contacts were electroplated. The two layers of photoresist and sputtered gold were removed leaving defined contacts. We obtained specific contact resistance of 2.6×10−7 Ω cm2 on post-annealed samples at 79 K. Microwave filters with contacts showed 4.2 dB loss at 9 GHz and 77 K, while comparable filters in copper showed 18 dB loss.

    Notes: We have studied vibrational properties of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates with SrRuO3 buffer layers by Raman spectroscopy over the temperature range from 5 to 300 K. The soft phonon modes were observed. The temperature dependence of the soft phonon frequency and the splitting of the triply degenerated soft mode into two components of A and E symmetries indicate the ferroelectric phase transition. The E soft mode is overdamped over a broad range of temperatures, and the A soft mode intensity decreases gradually in this range. This indicates a broad ferroelectric phase transition in the thin films. A comparison of results obtained from films deposited on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates shows that strain shifts the ferroelectric phase transition temperatures. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
