MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films deposited on (001)-MgO by pulsed laser ablation have been characterized using selected area diffraction. In addition to twin boundaries, the presence of both low-angle and high-angle grain boundaries were characteristic of the film’s microstructure. The presence of certain grain boundaries may be responsible for the weak-link Josephson behavior observed in small constrictions formed in superconducting films on MgO.
