Thin Superconducting Films

There is great interest in the growth of thin superconducting films of YBa2Cu3Ox on silicon, since this is a necessary first step in the use of this superconductor in a variety of possible electronic applications including interconnects and hybrid semiconductor/superconductor devices. However, initial experiments in this area showed that drastic interdiffusion of Si into the superconductor occurred during annealing if the Y-Ba-Cu-O was deposited direcdy on Si or SiO2, and this interdiffusion destroyed the superconducting properties. This paper describes the results of the use of a zirconia buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the growth of thin YBa2Cu3Ox films on Si. A more complete description of the growth and characterization of these films will be published elsewhere.Thin film deposition was carried out by sequential electron beam evaporation in vacuum onto clean or oxidized single crystal Si wafers. The first layer evaporated was 0.4 μm of zirconia.

Thin Superconducting Films

The effect of spin-orbit (SO) interaction on the formation of the critical states in thin superconducting films in magnetic field oriented along the film is investigated. Hereby, the case of interband pairing is considered. It was found that eight branches exist in the plane of two parameters [Formula: see text] determined by the value of magnetic field and SO interaction. Six modes leads to inhomogeneous states with different values of the impulse [Formula: see text]. Each state is doubly degenerate over direction of impulse [Formula: see text]. The parameter values at critical point are found for all eight branches in explicit form for zero temperature. The optimal two branches are estimated, corresponding to largest critical magnetic field value for given SO interaction.
