Me. Yakinci et al., In-situ single chamber arc sputtering process for YCd0.3Ba2Cu3O7-delta superconducting thin films, J L TEMP PH, 117(3-4), 1999, pp. 645-649
Superconducting YCd0.3Ba2Cu3O7-delta thin films have been deposited in-situ
onto single crystal MgO substrates using a DC arc-sputtering process. The
depositions were carried out in a single chamber deposition system equipped
with two target holders. The films deposited at the optimum condition exhi
bited strong (001) orientation with a high peak: intensity. The best electr
ical properties were achieved to be 90 K for T-e, 81K for T-zero and the tr
ansport critical current density J(c) = 675 A/cm(2) at 77K and 2.3x10(3) A/
cm(2) at 4.2 K for the sample deposited at the optimum conditions.
