A system with two interacting plasma fluxes for the deposition of high-temperature superconductor films is presented. This system prevents the appearance of particles on a film surface, and permits one to obtain YBa2Cu3O7−x films with the surface defect concentration as low as 104 cm−2, a high critical temperature of 90 K, and a critical current density of 4×106 A/cm2 at 77 K. It is shown that high morphological quality films are obtained at a specific target-substrate distance.
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.
