Volatile Mixed Metal Y-Ba and Ba-Cu Precursors for Mocvd of High Tc Superconductors: A Way to Improve the Transport of Barium ?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The fluoroisopropoxide ligand (HFIP) has allowed the synthesis of mixed-metal homoleptic Ba2Y and CuBa alkoxides. However, although these species are all volatile, their poor thermal stability precludes their use as CVD precursors. Their properties have thus been optimized by introduction of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione (thdH) in the metal coordination sphere. Compounds such as Y2Ba(μ-HFIP)4(thd)4, the first volatile Y-Ba species reported so far, as well as BaCu2(HFIP)4(thd)2 and YCu(HFIP)2(thd)3 have been obtained. These heterometallic ϐdiketonatoalkoxides have been characterized by a variety of techniques including X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, vapor pressure measurements and thermogravimetric analysis. Preliminary data on thermal decomposition experiments are given.
