Abstract

Epitaxial Fe-substituted YBCO films on LaAIO3 substrates prepared by pulsed laser deposition exhibit a large variation in Tc with the substrate temperature and the cool-down rate of the films in an O2 environment, immediately after deposition. For 9% Fe films deposited at 700°C, a rapid cool-down yields a Tc of 60 K while a slow cool-down of 10°C/minute gives 18 K; Tc goes to 0 at 11% Fe for the slow cool-down films. For 9% Fe films deposited at 770°C, Tc > 80K and is much less sensitive to the cool-down rate or additional anneals.
