At. Findikoglu et al., MICROWAVE SURFACE-RESISTANCE OF YBA2CU3O7-DELTA FILMS ON POLYCRYSTALLINE ALUMINA AND NI-BASED ALLOY SUBSTRATES WITH ION-BEAM-ASSISTED-DEPOSITED BUFFER LAYERS, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 7(2), 1997, pp. 1232-1235
We measured the microwave surface resistance R-s of superconducting YB
a2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films on buffered polycrystalline alumina and Ni-base
d alloy substrates using parallel-plate technique, We observed a stron
g correlation between the low-power R-s and the in-plane mosaic spread
of the YBCO films. A 0.4-mu m-thick YBCO film with an in-plan mosaic
spread of 6.6 degrees (7 degrees) on a buffered polycrystalline Ni-bas
ed alloy (buffered polycrystalline alumina) substrate showed an R-s of
0.51 m Omega (1.89 m Omega) at 76 K and 0.17 m Omega (0.21 m Omega) a
t 4 K.
