A. Giardiniguidoni et al., STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND PROPERTIES OF SUPERCONDUCTING THIN-FILMS PRODUCED BY PULSED-LASER DEPOSITION, Thin solid films, 241(1-2), 1994, pp. 114-118
This work deals with the production and characterization of supercondu
cting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 thin films realized by using the pulsed laser depo
sition technique. The effect of annealing parameters on the structure
and quality of the as-deposited and annealed thin films of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu
-O are reported and discussed, as well as of the sintered pellets used
as targets. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrosc
opy and X-ray diffraction have been utilized to characterize both the
sintered pellets and the thin film.
