ABSTRACTSuperconducting thin films of DyBa2Cu3O7-δ_ are deposited on MgO(100) substrates by an ozone-assisted coevaporation technique. At a relatively low substrate temperature (610°C) and with a fixed ozone flux we prepare highly c-axis oriented films with very good superconducting properties. The critical temperatures of the films are commonly above 85 K with critical currents above 10 5 A/cm2. We report on composition, microstructure, electrical resistivity and critical current of two good films.

Group II-VI compounds have been investigated largely in last two decades due to their interesting optoelectronic properties. ZnTe, a member of this family, possesses a bandgap around 2.26eV. This material is now a day investigated in thin film form due to its potential towards various viable applications. In this paper, the authors report their investigations on the preparation of ZnTe thin films using vacuum evaporation technique and their structural and optical characterizations. The structural characterization, carried out using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique shows that ZnTe used in present case possesses a cubic structure. Using the same data, the micro strain and dislocation density were evaluated and found to be around 1.465×10-3lines-m2and 1.639×1015lines/m2respecctively. The optical characterization carried out in UV-VIS-NIR region reveals the fact that band gap of ZnTe is around 2.2eV in present case. In addition to this, it was observed that the value of bandgap decreases as the thickness of films increases. The direct transitions of the carries are involved in ZnTe. Using the data of UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy, the transmission coefficient and extinction coefficient were also calculated for ZnTe thin films. Besides, the variation of extinction coefficient with wavelength has also been discussed here.

Abstract The successful synthesis of superconducting nickelate thin films with the highest Tc ~ 15 K has reignited great enthusiasms on this class of potential analogue to high-Tc cuprates suggested decades ago. To pursue higher Tc is always an important task in studying new superconductors. Here we report for the first time the effect of pressure on the superconducting properties of infinite-layer Pr0.82Sr0.18NiO2 thin films by measuring electrical resistivity under various pressures in a cubic anvil cell apparatus. We find that the onset of superconductivity, Tconset, can be enhanced monotonically from ~ 18 K at ambient pressure to ~ 31 K without showing signatures of saturation upon increasing pressure to 12.1 GPa in the presence of liquid pressure transmitting medium. This encouraging result indicates that the Tc of infinite-layer nickelates superconductors can be further raised up by applying higher pressures or strain engineering in the heterostructure films. In addition to the pressure effect, we also discussed the influence of stress/strain on the superconducting properties of the nickelate thin films.

High-T c superconducting thin films of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 were grown in-situ on (100) SrTiO 3 substrates by Nedymium:yttrium aluminum garnet [Nd:YAG] laser ablation. The effects of the substrate temperature on the transition temperature, microcrystalline structure and surface morphology of the films were discussed. Best results were obtained in the 730°–770°C range. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that these films were highly c-oriented with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface. At the optimum substrate temperature, a very smooth morphology with only a few small particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The zero resistance temperature of these films were ≥ 90 K with a narrow transition width and the ac susceptibility measurement also gave the same result. The highest critical current density obtained at 77 K and zero magnetic field was 3.8 × 106 A/cm 2.
