Growth of superconducting (Hg,Re)Ba2CaCu2Oy thin films on Ag by pulsed laser deposition

(Hg,Re)Ba2CaCu2Oy thin films have been fabricated on Ag by reacting laser deposited ReBaCaCuO precursor films with CaHgO2 in sealed quartz tubes. The as-prepared films exhibit excellent phase purity and c-axis texture, characterized by an onset superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 124 K. The microstructures of the films examined by environmental scanning electron microscope revealed H...

Superconducting properties of iron chalcogenide thin films.

Iron chalcogenides, binary FeSe, FeTe and ternary FeTe x Se1-x , FeTe x S1-x and FeTe:O x , are the simplest compounds amongst the recently discovered iron-based superconductors. Thin films of iron chalcogenides present many attractive features that are covered in this review, such as: (i) easy fabrication and epitaxial growth on common single-crystal substrates; (ii) strong enhancement of supe...

Relaxation effects in HTc-Superconducting Thin Films

Mechanical relaxation experiments have been widely applied to bulk high temperature (HT,) superconducting materials. In contrast to that only few results obtained on HT, superconducting thin films were reported. None dealt with stress driven phenomena due to the high background damping from the substrate materials used. In applied magnetic fields, however, a host reed technique can be used and ...
