Abstract
Microwave properties of spin-cast YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films on LaAlO3 sub strates were investigated. The films, prepared with carboxylate soluti on precursors and by reactive liquid phase sintering mechanism, showed dense epitaxial structure and good electrical properties. The surface resistance, measured at a frequency of 10 GHz, was 0.47 mOMEGA at 5.4 K and 3.1 mOMEGA at 77 K. The results indicate that this technique ca n be used to fabricate superconducting thin films for microwave applic ations at low cost and with wide area coverage.
