Abstract

YBa2Cu3O7 filaments produced from a soluble molecular precursor were reacted using low pressure oxygen heat treatments with and without an applied plasma. Filaments reacted at temperatures between 750 and 800°C with the aid of an oxygen plasma were found to have higher transition temperatures than those reacted under similar conditions without a plasma. The highest zero resistance critical temperature, Tc(0) = 91.6 K, was obtained from a filament reacted in a 0.2 Torr oxygen plasma at 800°C. At the lowest reaction plasma temperature of 700°C a Tc(0) of 88.0 K was observed. X-ray diffraction revealed that filaments reacted at an oxygen pressure of 1 atm were nearly tetragonal while those reacted at 0.2 Torr, with or without a plasma, were quite orthorhombic.
