“…In this work, we will apply thermal analysis (TA) on film samples, despite the limitation of the small sample amount in films which pushes TA techniques to their limits. We will provide a closer look on the pyrolysis of FF-YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-∂ (YBCO) films [27][28][29], a high temperature superconductor (HTS) [30,31], by studying in-situ the effect of TEA on each of the three metalorganic salts used for the fabrication of YBCO with chemical methods: YProp 3 [22,24,32,33], CuProp 2 [20,[34][35][36], Ba-Prop-Ac [18]. Humid O 2 atmospheres will be studied in comparison to inert atmospheres, as the former are normally used during YBCO pyrolysis.…”
