Abstract

Superconducting thin films of DyBa2Cu3O7-δ_ are deposited on MgO(100) substrates by an ozone-assisted coevaporation technique. At a relatively low substrate temperature (610°C) and with a fixed ozone flux we prepare highly c-axis oriented films with very good superconducting properties. The critical temperatures of the films are commonly above 85 K with critical currents above 10 5 A/cm2. We report on composition, microstructure, electrical resistivity and critical current of two good films.
