As-grown superconducting MgB 2 thin films have been grown on SrTiO 3 (001), MgO(001), and Al 2 O 3 (0001) substrates by a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method with novel co-evaporation conditions of low deposition rate in ultra-high vacuum. The structural and physical properties of the films were studied by RHEED, XRD, electrical resistivity measurements, and SQUID magnetometer. The RHEED patterns indicate three-dimensional growth for MgB 2 . The highest T c determined by resistivity measurement was about 36K in these samples. And a clear Meissner effect below T c was observed using magnetic susceptibility measurement. We will discuss the influence of B buffer layer on the structural and physical properties
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.
