Extract

Superconducting YBa2Cu3O; thin films have been prepared by magnetron sputtering onto [100] single crystal MgO with and without an Au buffer layer. All samples show high transition temperatures (82–87 K). The use of an Au buffer layer significantly improves the superconducting properties, particularly the Meissner effect and critical current density (3.3×106A/cm2 at 2 K and 3.5×104A/cm2 at T=77 K). The Au buffer layers remain metallic after high temperature annealing in an oxygen atmosphere, and may thus serve as effective current shunts.
