An Oxygen Radical Source with High Electron Densities for Preparation of YBCO Thin Films

  • Conference paper
Advances in Superconductivity V

Abstract

We fabricated an oxygen radical source using plasma with an inductively coupled radio frequency, and applied it to the co-evaporative preparation of YBCO superconducting films. Tc’s of the obtained films exceeded 80K in spite of an extremely low oxygen partial pressure of 10−4 Pa.

The electron density of the plasma was estimated as 1013 cm−3. The high electron density caused a high concentration of the oxygen radical which resulted in the successful preparation of YBCO crystal in such low pressure.
