Popis: | Previous work has demonstrated the ability to grow extremely high quality Tl/sub 0.5/Pb/sub 0.5/Sr/sub 1.6/Ba/sub 0.4/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ epitaxial films up to 15 /spl mu/m thick using melt growth techniques on single crystal LaAlO/sub 3/ substrates. This melt growth process is an ideal candidate for producing high quality superconducting films on flexible metal substrates with textured buffer layers; however, the textured buffer layer of choice, cubic yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), appears to be incompatible with the melt growth of TI-Pb-Sr-Ba-Ca-Cu-O films. In this work, we investigate textured buffer layers which are compatible with the epitaxial growth of Tl/sub 0.5/Pb/sub 0.5/Sr/sub 1.6/Ba/sub 0.4/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ films. Crucial properties for the successful development of a suitable buffer layer are lattice matching, chemical stability and texture. Buffer layer materials investigated are CeO/sub 2/ and LaAlO/sub 3/ grown using a UV (248 nm) pulsed excimer laser deposition system equipped with multiple targets and a controlled ambient. Influence of substrate temperature and ambient gas pressure and flow on buffer growth are analyzed via XRD characterization. Highly textured buffer layers have been fabricated. |
