Abstract

Pulsed laser deposition was used to deposit high-quality YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ(YBCO) thin films directly on y-cut LiNbO₃substrates. The as-deposited YBCO films had a high degree of in-plane orientation and showed superconducting transition temperature (T_∞) at 91 K with a transition width of less than 1 K. Transport critical current densities were found to be - 10⁶A cm^-2at 77 K and zero field. An ion beam minimum channelling yield of 16% was obtained for YBCO films, indicating high crystallinity. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies showed that interface between the film and the substrate was quite smooth and free from interfacial interdiffusion. The defects in thin films are also identified. The work showed that high-quality high T_cthin films can be deposited directly on LiNbO₃. Novel devices based on the properties of both YBCO and LiNbO₃could be realized based on these results.
