Description

Y1Ba2Cu3O7-d thin films were prepared on MgO(001) substrates by rf-magnetron sputtering. The influence of oxygen partial pressure on film preparation has been investigated quantitatively. The oxygen flow rate near the substrate was controlled by an oxygen inlet ring. As-deposited films in an appropriate condition of oxygen flow rate show a superconducting transition at 83 K. When too much oxygen gas is introduced into a chamber, as-deposited films are damaged by resputtering and their superconducting property disappears. The growth mechanism of the thin films is discussed in terms of the resputtering effect. (author)
