Abstract
Plasma‐assisted laser deposition was used to grow high quality mirror‐like superconducting Y‐Ba‐Cu‐O films on sapphire with or without a buffer layer. The buffer layers of MgO, Ag, or BaTiO3 were also laser deposited. At a deposition temperature of 400–500 °C, the as‐deposited Y‐Ba‐Cu‐O films on MgO/Al2O3, Ag/Al2O3, BaTiO3/Al2O3, and plain Al2O3 substrates were all superconducting at ≳75 K without post‐annealing. The orientation of the film and the critical current are both affected by the presence of the buffer layer.Keywords
