    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 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: 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: 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: Critical current densities (Jc) in YBa2Cu3O7−x films made at deposition rates from 0.1 to 14.5 nm/s (∼50 μm/h) were measured using a direct transport method. As the deposition rate was increased by two orders of magnitude, the films exhibited no marked degradation in current carrying capability with Jc of ∼4×106 A/cm2 at 77 K and zero field. Jc for all the films showed similar behavior under a magnetic field up to 8 T, although extra structural defects were found in the films deposited at the higher rates. The results from this experiment indicate the feasibility for coating wires, tapes, and other macroscopic shapes with high Tc superconductors using proper vapor deposition techniques.

    Notes: We have measured a fast response by thin-film YBa2Cu3O7−δ detectors to pulsed, broadband, infrared radiation. Synchrotron light from an electron storage ring was used as the infrared source, providing subnanosecond pulses from far infrared through visible. Pulse responsivities as high as 106 V/J and as fast as 4 ns have been observed. For film thicknesses in the range 400–3200 A(ring), the detector response follows the film absorptivity while the speed varies inversely with thickness, suggesting a bolometric mechanism. Calculations based on such a model are in accord with the data. We find no evidence for any nonbolometric components in the response.

    Notes: Using in situ deposited thin-film Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ on LaAlO3 substrates, we have developed a pseudo-interdigital three-pole stripline filter with a minimum passband loss under 3.5 dB at 9.5 GHz and 77 K. The passband is very narrow, having a bandwidth of only 50 MHz (0.5%). The filter occupies a volume of less than 0.1 cm3. An equivalent copper filter produced a loss of 18.5 and 28 dB at 77 and 300 K, respectively. The input and output coupling is achieved by ex situ sputtered Au thin-film contacts defined on the Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ by a lift-off technology and ultrasonically bonded to hermetic K connectors. Some of the major concerns in the realization of narrow band filters such as air gaps between high dielectric constant substrates and uniformity of the substrate's dielectric constant are addressed.

    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: Ultrathin films of YBa2Cu3O7−x with thicknesses down to 2 nm were grown on(100)SrTiO3 and (100)MgO by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. Metallic behavior and zero resistance temperatures above 4.2 K were obtained in 3-nm-thick films on SrTiO3. Thinner films revealed temperature-activated conductivity and only partial transitions to superconductivity due to inhomogeneities in the film morphology. On MgO, the critical film thickness leading to deteriorations of the transport properties was 6 nm. An analysis of the fluctuation-enhanced conductivity near Tc in terms of the Aslamazov–Larkin theory [Phys. Lett. A 26, 238 (1968)] revealed three-dimensional behavior even in the thinnest fully superconducting films.

    Notes: One problem with the growth of high quality c-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−x films is the tendency of the film surface to become rough. We studied the film growth mechanism as a function of deposition rate using pulsed laser deposition. These films form by the classic nucleation and growth process; the thickness at which the nucleated islands coalesce increased with decreasing deposition rate. The film has pinholes prior to coalescence and nucleates outgrowths during coalescence. The outgrowths enlarge rapidly because they contain materials and crystallographic directions with growth rates faster than that of the c-axis film. A smooth surface is obtained if the substrate temperature and deposition rate are chosen such that coalescence is just completed at the final film thickness. We observed the outgrowths nucleating at coalescence and propose that certain defects, related to the c-axis growth habit, may be the fundamental cause of outgrowth formation. Outgrowths have not been observed in a-axis films. Outgrowths are easily confused with the particulate deposition problem associated with laser deposition. In these experiments, the particulate problem was essentially eliminated by using freshly polished targets for each run.
