description

Abstract Oriented (Hg 0.7 Mo 0.3 )Sr 2 (Ca 0.7 Y 0.3 )Cu 2 O x and (Hg 0.9 Re 0.1 )Ba 2 CaCu 2 O y superconducting films were prepared on SrTiO 3 substrates using laser ablation and post-Hg-vapor annealing. Due to the stability of Mo 0.3 Sr 2 (Ca 0.7 Y 0.3 )Cu 2 O x and Re 0.1 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O y in air, no special handling was needed during the grinding, mixing and pressing of the precursor targets. The superconductivity of the films was characterized with the temperature dependence of the ac susceptibility ( χ - T ) and the resistance ( R - T ) while the crystallography was probed with x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
