摘要
It has been proposed by Muller and Shengelaya that underdoped ultrathin layers of copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) sandwiched between high-dielectric-constant insulator layers could manifest increased superconducting critical temperature T-c. To check this hypothesis, we investigated structural and transport properties of YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) thin films sandwiched between SrTiO3 (STO) layers. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) showed that a high-quality interface is formed between YBCO and the top STO layers. An increase of T-c up to Delta T approximate to 20 K was observed at these interfaces in case of underdoped YBCO films.
