Abstract

Phase-pure epitaxial Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu 3O10 thin films have been grown on single crystal (110) LaAlO3 substrates using an improved metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process. First, Ba-Ca-Cu-Ox precursor films are grown on LaAlO3 (110) substrates using Ba(hfa)2tet, Ca(hfa) 2tet, and Cu(hfa)2 (hfa=hexafluoroacetylacetonate; tet=tetraglyme) as volatile metalorganic precursors. Thallium is then incorporated into the films during a post-anneal in the presence of a Tl 2O3, BaO, CaO, CuO powder mixture at 820°C for 12 h in a flowing 10% O2/Ar atmosphere. The films have a transport-measured Tc=115 K and Jc=1.5×105 A/cm2 (80 K), while magnetic hysteresis measurements yield Jc= 6×105 A/cm2 (77 K). Preliminary surface resistance measurements give Rs=0.35 mΩ at 5 K, 10 GHz.
