Abstract
YBa2Cu3O7-d thin films were deposited on MgO single crystals by means of an off-axis radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method. The thickness of the deposited films was proportional to deposition time with high precision. W hen the thickness was under 50 nm, The critical temperature was drastically declined. It was concluded that a deformed region existed within 50 nm fro m the interface. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
