摘要:
Superconducting, silver‐doped films of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−&dgr;have been deposited by spray pyrolysis of aqueous nitrate solutions onto MgO substrates. The superconducting transport properties, microstructure, and microwave losses have been characterized for various amounts of AgNO3added to the spraying solution. These films had resistive transition temperatures between 79 and 85 K with widths from 3 to 7 K. The room‐temperature resistivity was a strong function of the silver doping, dropping by a factor of 50 for the heavily doped films. Critical current densities at 4 K were typically several 103A/cm2with little correlation to the silver doping. Lattice constants also were not significantly affected by the silver doping level, however, lightly doped films were denser, had the strongestcaxis preferred orientation, and a smoother surface. Rf surface resistance was measured at 18 GHz, and for the best films dropped a factor of 10 below copper by 40 K. The London penetration depth was estimated to be approximately 1 &mgr;m for the best films.
