Jz. Wu et al., FAST TEMPERATURE RAMPING HG-VAPOR ANNEALING PROCESS FOR FABRICATION OF HG-BASED SUPERCONDUCTING THIN-FILMS, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 7(2), 1997, pp. 1907-1910
Growth mechanism of superconducting Hg-based cuprate thin films has be
en studied by changing the sample heating rate in Hg-vapor annealing p
rocess. A fast temperature ramping Hg-vapor annealing (FTRA) process h
as been found to be beneficial to the growth of high quality c-axis or
iented epitaxial HgBa2CaCu2O6+delta films with zero-resistance T-c up
to 124 K and HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+delta films with zero-resistance T-c up to
130 K on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates. The high J(c)'s carried by thes
e films makes them promising for many applications.
