F. Wellhofer et al., THE EFFECT OF SELECTED PROCESS PARAMETERS ON LASER-ABLATED YBCO THIN-FILMS ON SRTIO3 SUBSTRATES, Journal of alloys and compounds, 251(1-2), 1997, pp. 123-128
Results are reported from the analysis of a series of laser ablated YB
CO thin films grown in 100 and 400 mTorr of oxygen with repetition rat
es between 5 and 15 Hz at a large substrate-target distance. VSM and R
ES channelling results confirm the good superconducting and crystallin
e properties of the films, and AFM results show that more slowly grown
films still contain significant amounts of undesirable surface featur
es.
