Thin films of samarium‐oxide‐doped (20 mol%) ceria (SDC) are grown by pulsed‐laser
deposition (PLD) on (001) MgO single‐crystal substrates. SrTiO3 (STO) prepared by PLD is …

The ex situ process has emerged as a popular technology for growing epitaxial YBa 2 Cu 3
O 7 (YBCO) for the second generation of coated conductors. The process combines low …

The critical current density (J c) and irreversibility field (B irr) of epitaxial SmBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x
(SmBCO) films are reported. The B irr and J c of these films deposited on MgO (100) …

▪ Abstract The field of high-temperature superconducting thin films is reviewed, focusing on
the synthesis and properties of materials that are most promising for device applications …

In oxide-based superconducting thin films, conceivable factors that give rise to a pinning
center include dislocations, precipitates, twin boundaries, and a-axis-oriented phases. In this …

The first large scale commercial application of high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin
films has been in the area of passive microwave devices. Thallium based superconductors …
