Preparation of High-Jc Ba2YCu3O7-y Films on SrTiO3 (100) Substrates by the Dipping-Pyrolysis Process at 750°C

Abstract
Superconducting Ba2YCu3O7-y films were prepared on SγTiO3 (100) substrates by the dipping-pyrolysis process using metal acetylacetonates as starting materials. Prefired films were heat-treated at 750°C under a low-oxygen partial pressure (p(O2)=2×10-4 atm) and then annealed in O2. The resulting films showed high superconducting transition temperatures; both of the values of T c,onset(s) and T c,zero(r) were 89 K. The current-voltage characteristics of the films were measured at 74-86 K. The critical current at 77 K and 0 T was 2.4 A, which corresponds to the critical-current density of 3.9×105 A/cm2.
