YBaCuO films fabricated by laser ablation method were subjected to a thermocycling. Our investigations showed that the degradation process of the current transport properties of films is accompanied by the appearance of a maximum on the curve of the critical current density, depending on the number of thermocycles. This effect manifests itself most strongly in the films with degraded superconducting properties. The critical temperature and the transition width vary only slightly in this case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
