Abstract

Thin superconducting films of YBa2Cu3O7 and HoBa2Cu3O7 have been obtained by ablating material from high-Tc bulk superconductor ceramics onto a nearby substrate using focused excimer laser radiation. Subsequent annealing in oxygen at elevated temperatures was necessary to achieve the superconducting phase. A range of deposition and annealing conditions was investigated to yield films of the desired stoi chiometry and phase.
