Abstract
We have studied by Auger electron spectroscopy the incorporation of si lver in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films fabricated by pulsed las er deposition using YBCO + Ag 10% targets. Films were grown on MgO sub strates. The silver was found in a thin layer, of approximately 50 nm in depth, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the Ag is in its metallic form.
