Abstract

The first investigations on the laser-induced reduction of YBa2Cu3O7−x are presented. Here, the oxygen content of the material is diminished by local heating under cw Kr+ laser irradiation in H2 atmosphere. The technique permits the superconducting properties of the material to be locally changed or destroyed. Laser-induced surface metallization may be useful for the electroding of such materials.
