A comprehensive review of structure work on high-T c oxides as reported during the years
1987 and 1988 is given. Thirteen structures are refined from X-ray single-crystal and/or …

This article presents a systematic overview of the work carried out in the area of pulsed laser
deposition (PLD), characterization and device application aspects of high temperature …

Abstract The superconducting phase YBa2Cu4O8 ('124') differs from YBa2Cu3O7 ('123') in
having a double, instead of single, Cu–O chain running parallel to the b axis. It was first …

Using single‐target off‐axis sputter deposition, high quality superconducting films of
YBa2Cu3O7− δ were made in situ. These films have properties which are distinctly different …

The effect of ambient oxygen pressure on the synthesis of epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7− x films on
(100) SrTiO3 substrates by post‐deposition annealing of amorphous precursor films was …

The customary way of determining the complex dielectric constant from the measured
reflectance spectra suffers from large uncertainties because of the extrapolations required …

High quality superconducting films of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x were deposited in situ using single
target 90° off-axis sputtering. We have investigated their superconducting DC and RF …

New high-temperature superconducting compounds R Ba 2 Cu 4 O 8 (R= Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd,
Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm) which share the 1: 2: 4 structure of YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 are bulk synthesized …

A directional solidification method for growing large single crystals in the Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O
8+ δ system is reported. Ion doping, with replacement of La for Sr and Y for Ca, as well as …

Abstract The 124 phase YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 is synthesized by solid state reaction at 930° C in P
(O 2)> 62; 30 bar, while the 247 phase Y 2 Ba 4 Cu 7 O 15− x is favored in the narrow range …
