AbstractSystematic studies of the effects of pulsed laser deposition processing parameters on plume dynamics and resultant film properties have been performed. Plume angular distributions, cosm(θ), were observed to be variable between 1 > m > 15 depending on laser energy density and spot size. Under optimized conditions, epitaxial, superconducting thin films could be grown in‐situ on a variety of single‐crystal substrates. High quality, 2000 Å  ss thick films were obtained at deposition rates approaching 150 Å/sec.

AbstractThe electric resistance was measured in real time during laser evaporation deposition of superconducting thin films. It was found that different substrates led to different behaviors in the temporal change of the resistance. The results are consistent with the processes of nucleation, interface reaction and bulk‐like growth. Structural transformation was also observed due to oxygen backfilling at the final stage of the deposition.

AbstractWe have performed transport critical current density, Jc, measurements on epitaxial superconducting thin films which were in‐situ patterned during the laser deposition process. Shadow masks of various dimensions were placed close to the substrate to generate different patterns. Epitaxial films of YBa2Cu3O7 on (100) SrTiO3, (100) YSZ, and (100) LaA1O3 substrates were fabricated at low processing temperatures (500‐650°Q by the biased laser deposition technique in an oxygen ambient of 200 mtorr. Excellent quality superconducting thin films were formed on patterned areas. The critical temperature of the films was found to be in the range of 88 to 90 K, and the best critical current density values (at 77K, and zero magnetic field) greater than 6.5 x106 Amps/cm2 were obtained for silver doped YBa2Cu3O7 films on (100)LaAlO3 substrates.

AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.
