Abstract
Superconducting thin films have been prepared in a two-step in-situ process, using the Mg-B plasma generated by pulsed laser ablation. The target was composed of a mixture of Mg and MgB2 powders to compensate for the volatility of Mg and therefore to ensure a high Mg content in the film. The films were deposited at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300 degrees C followed by a low-pressure in-situ annealing procedure. Various substrates have been used and diverse ways to increase the Mg content into the film were applied. The films show a sharp transition in the resistance and have a zero resistance transition temperature of 22-24 K.Keywords
