Popis: Scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to study inhomogeneities in thin films of Y-Ba-Cu-O high-temperature superconductors caused by secondary-phase precipitates. It was established that Y-Ba-Cu-O films with high global critical parameters may constitute a complex heterogeneous system containing regions of different thickness and electrical properties. It is shown that these inhomogeneities may strongly influence the parameters of devices formed using these films.
