Material Specification for Y:123; [Y-Ba-Cu-O]
Process: Laser Ablation
Notes: The authors cite M.F. Davis et al., J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 69, 7182 (1991), and summarize the procedure as follows. "The... thin films examined in this study were prepared on SrTiO3 or LaAlO3 substrates by the laser ablation technique. By varying the deposition conditions, two types of c-oriented films of thickness... 2000 σ were obtained: type A was epitaxial, single crystal-like and type B was polycrystalline."

Measurement Method: Four-probe method
"A four-probe method was used to determined J
c and T
c. For these measurements, 10 µm x 1 mm thin film strips were patterned by the dry-etching technique. Electrical Pt-leads were attached to the strips with In-contacts with a typical contact resistance of... 1 Ω. A 1 µV/cm standard was used to measure the J
c. The hydrostatic pressure was generated by the clamp technique, using the Fluorinert (3M Industrial Chemical Co.) as the pressure medium. The pressure was determined by a superconducting Pb-manometer."
