A. Degardin et al., REACTIVE SPUTTERING OF YBACUO THIN-FILMS ON POLYCRYSTALLINE ZIRCONIA SUBSTRATES - OPTIMIZATION RESULTS, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-APPLIED PHYSICS, 1(1), 1998, pp. 1-6
In situ elaboration of YBaCuO thin films, on polycrystalline yttria do
ped zirconia substrates, has been optimized. A reactive sputtering mod
el has been developed and the electrical conductivity of the substrate
has been studied as a function of temperature and doping. The J(c) va
lue of approximate to 3 x 10(4) A/cm(2) at 77 K, measured on microbrid
ges, is among the best reported in the literature for this substrate t
ype.
