Abstract

The process of new-phase nucleation in the YBa2Cu3O7−x system deposited by magnetron sputtering has been studied. The first experimental observation of the phenomenon of temporal self-organization in the course of new-phase formation, which was predicted theoretically,1–3 is reported. Auto-oscillations in the number of nuclei of various chemical compounds 20–60 nm in size were observed to occur within the 15 to 300-s time interval, the total number of nuclei varying aperiodically from 1013 m−2 to less than 1011 m−2.
