Abstract

We describe single-target ion beam sputtering of superconducting YBaCuO thin films mainly onto R-sapphire and (100) SrTiO3 substrates. We discuss different thermal treatments and consequent X-ray and resistivity results and conclude with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data which indicate formation of hydroxydes on the surface of films exposed to atmosphere.
