摘要
Highly c-axis-oriented epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 - delta (YBCO) thin films prepared on LaAlO3 substrates by a self-template technique have been investigated for microwave applications. By varying the conditions of the two-step self-template method, the properties of YBCO thin films could be improved significantly. With this method, it was easy to reproducibly obtain YBCO thin films with T-c0 greater than or equal to 90 K, Delta T-c less than or equal to 1 K, R-s (77 K, 10 GHz) similar to 500 mu Omega. The best sample grown under optimal conditions had a low R-s of 330 mu Omega at 77 K and 10 GHz. In addition, the correlation between the microwave surface resistance, R-s, and the crystal structure is discussed by studying che electron channeling pattern (ECP) of thin films. In conclusion, the microwave losses can strongly be affected by structural imperfections. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
