A. Giardiniguidoni et al., PULSED-LASER ABLATION AND DEPOSITION OF SUPERCONDUCTING BISRCACUO THIN-FILMS, Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 105(6), 1993, pp. 709-714
The present work reports some results obtained using the laser deposit
ion technique to produce superconducting thin films. In situ analysis
of transients formed in the plume and surface diagnostics of deposited
Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) thin films have been performed. It has been asc
ertained that mixed-oxide cluster ions are produced in the plume, toge
ther with neutral and ionized atoms of the constituent material. The e
ffect of annealing parameters on the structure and quality of pellets
and deposited thin films of BSCCO are reported and discussed.
