K. Okuyama et al., CRYSTALLIZATION OF AMORPHOUS YBCO AND BSCCO THIN-FILMS BY ZONE-MELT TECHNIQUE, IEICE transactions on electronics, E76C(8), 1993, pp. 1241-1245
Amorphous films of YBCO and BSCCO (2212) sputtered on MgO substrate we
re crystallized using zone-melt technique. For YBCO films, thin Ag int
ermediate layer was found to be effective in enhancing crystal growth
and preferred orientation. Zone-melted BSCCO films included both (2201
) phase and Cu(Sr, Ca)O2 in a form of dendritic crystallites. T(c)'s o
btained for YBCO and BSCCO films were 70 and 75 K, respectively.
