Abstract

Thin films of La2−xSrxCuO4 and YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductors have been prepared from citrate-polymer precursors. By a simple spin-coating and pyrolysis process, films which are dense and continuous at greater than 0.5 μm thickness have been prepared. For YBa2Cu3O7-y films deposited on SrTiO3, a large degree of epitaxial orientation has been observed, with the a-b plane of the superconductor parallel to the (100) plane of the substrate. Microstructural characterization and electrical properties measurements of these films are presented.
