摘要:
ErBa2Cu3O7−xfilms have been produced by simultaneous deposition of Er, Ba, and Cu from three ionized cluster beam (ICB) sources at acceleration voltages of 0.3–0.5 kV. Combining ozone oxidation with ICB deposition at 650 °C eliminated any need of post anneal processing. The substates were rotated at 10 rotations per minute during the deposition which took place at a rate of about 3 to 4 nm. ErBa2Cu3O7−xfilms with areas up to 70 mm in diameter have been made by ICB deposition. These films, 100‐nm thick, were deposited on SrTiO3(100) substrates at 650 °C in a mixture of 6 at. % O3in O2at a total pressure of 4×10−4Torr. They hadTcranging from 84.3 to 86.8 K over a 70 mm diameter andJcabove 106A/cm2at 77 K. Another set of three samples, deposited within a 50 mm diameter, was examined by magnetization measurements. These samples hadJcranging from 8.2×106to 1.1×107A/cm2at 4.2 K and from 2.4×105to 5.1×105A/cm2at 70 K. X‐ray diffraction measurements of the three samples showed preferentialc‐axis orientation normal to the substrate surface. Rocking curves showed small variation in grain misorientation with sample position relative to the center of the substrate holder. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of the three samples also show some texture dependence on sample position. For the three samples, there is a correlation between SEM texture, full width at half‐maximum of rocking curves andJcversus temperature curves.
