Popis: High-quality YBCO thin films deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates by laser ablation have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy in air. The films have been grown at different substrate temperatures, and the measured critical current density ( J c ) and surface resistance ( R s ) have been shown to vary with deposition temperature; where the J c decreased with deposition temperature, the R s increased. These variations were related to a change in the film surface morphology, showing screw dislocations for the films with lower deposition temperature, while at higher temperatures these dislocations were absent.
