Abstract

We have developed a process for the fabrication of (001) oriented SrTiO3 buffer layers onto (001) MgO substrates by rf magnetron sputtering followed by a post-deposition heat treatment in air. Precursor films with Tl : Ba : Ca : Cu ratio 2 : 2 : 2 : 3 were deposited by de magnetron sputtering onto both these buffered substrates and directly onto (001) SrTiO3 single-crystal substrates, and thalliated at elevated temperatures. Because of Sr diffusion from the substrate/buffer layer, and its subsequent substitution for Ba in the superconducting film, the single Tl-O layer phase Tl(Ba1 - xSrx)(2)Ca2Cu3Oy was stabilized. Diffusion of Ba and Ca in the opposite direction led to the formation of a Ba-Ca-Ti-O compound at the interface. The Tl(Ba1 - xSrx)(2)Ca2Cu3Oy films typically have superconducting transition temperatures (T-c's) > 103 K and critical current densities (J(c)'s) > 2.9 x 10(5) A cm(-2) at 77 K. R-s values measured on these films and scaled to 10 GHz were 3.0 m Omega at 80 K and < 200 mu Omega at 50 K for the film grown on SrTiO3 buffered MgO, and 2.0 m Omega and 1.0 m Omega at 50 K for the film grown directly onto the (001) SrTiO3 substrate. Films fabricated on (001) SrTiO3 using an in situ deposition technique with a substrate temperature around 100 degrees C lower than the ex situ thalliation temperature showed no evidence of an interfacial reaction layer.
