AbstractAlternating current conduction in BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) thin films has been studied over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. A power law relation was used to explain the frequency dependence of ac conductivity. In the higher frequency region, ac conductivity of the BBN thin films was temperature independent. The activation energy calculated from the Arrhenius plot of ac conductivity was found to be around 0.25 eV. It was attributed to shallow trap controlled space charge conduction in the bulk of the sample. The impedance analysis of the BBN thin films was also performed to gain insight into the microstructure of the films, including the characteristics of the grains, grain boundaries, and film-electrode interface. The response of a single RC combination has been observed for our case. The effect of other components, such as the grain boundary interface and electrode/film interface was negligible. The imaginary component of impedance (Z”) exhibited different peak maxima at different temperatures. A Debye mechanism was found to be appropriate to explain the polarization relaxation in BBN thin films.

Excimer Laser Ablation

ABSTRACTExcimer laser ablation with an in situ heat treatment was used to prepare high quality superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x thin films on (100)-SrTiO3 and (100)-LaAlO3 substrates. A pulsed excimer laser (XeCl; 308 nm) was used to ablate a rotating, bulk YBa2Cu3O7−x target at a laser energy density of 2–3 J/cm2. Based on four-probe dc resistance measurements, the films exhibited superconducting transition temperatures (Tc, midpoint) of 88 and 87K with 2K (90–10%) transition widths for SrTiO3 and LaAlO3, respectively. Transport critical current densities (Jc) measured at 77K were 2 × 106 and 1 × 106 A/cm2 in zero field for SrTiO3 and LaAlO3, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the films to be highly oriented, with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface.
