Single-Crystal NdBa2Cu3O7–x Films for Microwave Electronics

Аннотация

The growth of single-crystal films of high-temperature superconductors of the NdBa₂Cu₃O_7–x composition with a thickness of 1–1.5 μm on Al₂O₃ + CeO₂ substrates during the laser spraying is investigated. Technological conditions of the epitaxial growth of the films with a temperature of superconducting transition of 95 K and a critical current of more than 10⁶ A/cm² at the temperature of liquid nitrogen are determined. It is shown that the structure of fabricated NdBa₂Cu₃O_7–x films is more perfect and homogeneous than the structure of YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x films widely used in microwave electronics.
