Abstract

Processing atmosphere and precursor effects on liquid phase formation were investigated in the BaO–CuO thin film system. Liquid phase was observed at a significantly lower temperature (∼620 °C) under N2 atmosphere with carboxylate solution precursors. In the processing of the YBCO oxide superconductors, formation of the liquid phase facilitated the decomposition of BaCO3 and crystallization of the YBCO grains. Larger grains and greater (00l) preferred orientation were also observed in the YBCO films prepared with the presence of the liquid phase.
