Abstract

The deposition of the condensed phase YBa2Cu3O7−x from a gas mixture composed of YCl3, BaCl2, Cu3Cl3, and Ar reacting with another consisting of O2 and Ar in a flow system at elevated temperatures was investigated by means of the virtual equilibrium model, and the deposition rates were computed as a function of input gas stream compositions. The optimum growth conditions were identified.
