In-Situ Growth of Superconducting Single Crystal Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Thin Films by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Thin Film Superconductors 2

Abstract

The films described here were synthesyzed using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system specifically constructed for in situ growth of thin films of various high-Tc copper oxides and related compounds1. The system contains six thermal effusion cells equipped with computer-controlled beam shutters. Oxidation is accomplished using an ozone beam supplied by a UV discharge generator/silica gel cold-trap separator system, and monitored during the growth by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) is utilized to determine the chemical composition and callibrate the atomic fluxes.
