D. Kumar et al., GEOMETRICAL MODEL AND EXPERIMENTAL-EVIDENCE FOR THE GROWTH OF AG-DOPED YBA2CU3O7-X THIN-FILMS, Journal of superconductivity, 9(1), 1996, pp. 1-2
The improvement in the properties of laser-ablated Ag-doped YBa2CU3O7-
x (YBCO) thin films in both normal and superconducting states has been
interpreted using a growth model. The model is simple and is based on
the widely accepted characteristics of Ag such as its flux action at
high temperature and nonreactivity with YBCO phase.
