Abstract
We discuss our results on the transport properties of YBCO thin films deposited on ultra-thin (1-11 nm) Ag underlayers. Samples were of the form: YBCO/Ag/LaAlO3. It was seen that T-c remained relatively unaffec ted by the Ag underlayers, ranging from 86 - 89K. Critical currents ge nerally decreased with increasing Ag underlayer thickness, but showed an apparent significant enhancement for 8 nm of underlayer thickness. Film resistivity was found to be consistently higher for all underlaye r thicknesses.
