Effect of oxygen stoichiometry and microstructure on superconducting properties of YBaCuO films

Abstract

Microstructure and oxygen stoichiometry of YBaCuO films manufactured by laser ablation are investigated. Dependence of the specific electrical resistivity and superconducting parameters of films on microstructure and oxygen stoichiometry is demonstrated. Conditions of deposition are determined, under which films with minimum microstructure defects and good conducting properties are formed.
