M. Ohmukai et al., Post-deposition cooling in oxygen is critical for YBa2Cu3O7-d films deposited by eclipse pulsed laser deposition method, BRAZ J PHYS, 31(1), 2001, pp. 30-33
YBa2Cu3O7-d thin films were deposited on MgO single crystals by means of an
eclipse pulsed laser deposition method. Deposited films are cooled down in
situ under an oxygen atmosphere at a given oxygen pressure. The relationsh
ip between critical temperature and oxygen deficiency was investigated by m
eans of electrical resistance R(T) and x-ray diffraction measurements. Post
-deposition cooling is critical and the high pressure of oxygen during cool
ing is favorable.
