Abstract
YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films have been grown on (100) MgO substrates by the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique. Films properties of relevance for microwave applications were studied for different substrate prepa ration and deposition parameters. It is reported on the influence of c omposition deviations, substrate surface preparation and deposition pa rameters on Tc (R=0), Jc (77 K), the crystalline texture and the surfa ce morphology of the films. An improvement of the PLD technique aimed at the optimizing of HTS thin film growth for electronics and microwav e systems is proposed.
