摘要:
In a high frequency transmission line having a dielectric substrate and a conductor line which is provided on the dielectric substrate for allowing electric current to flow therethrough, the conductor line has a non-grain-boundary oxide superconductor layer with twin walls but without grain boundaries. The high frequency transmission line is in the form of a plane circuit. It is preferable that an oriented oxide superconductor layer is provided between the dielectric substrate and the non-grain-boundary oxide superconductor layer.

A Josephson junction is disclosed which includes a substrate of a single crystal having a substantially flat surface, a wiring pattern of an oxide superconductor formed on the flat surface of the substrate, and an altered region formed having a width of 300 nm or less and formed in the wiring pattern to intersect the wiring pattern, the crystal orientations of the wiring pattern on both sides of the altered region being equal to each other. The Josephson junction may be prepared by a process including the steps of: (a) coating a surface of a substrate of a single crystal with a normal metal to form a protecting layer over the surface of the substrate; (b) irradiating a predetermined portion of the protecting layer with a focused ion beam so that an irradiated portion is formed in the substrate; (c) removing the protecting layer from the substrate; and (d) forming a wiring pattern of an oxide superconductor on the surface of the substrate from which the protecting layer has been removed such that the wiring pattern crosses the irradiated portion of the substrate, thereby forming an altered portion in the wiring pattern at a position above the irradiated portion.

The present invention can provide an oxide superconductive film with a smooth surface and a homogeneous thickness on a simple substrate structure at a high film formation rate. In a liquid phase epitaxial growth method for producing an ReBa 2 Cu 3 Ox film (3) (Rerepresents one selected from lanthanoids such as Y and Nd, and X represents the oxygen amount) having a 123 type crystal structure from a molten liquid (1), a substrate (2) surface is inclined by 1 degree to 44 degrees with respect to the molten liquid surface at the time of separating the film from the molten liquid after film formation. After separating the film from the molten liquid, the substrate is rotated at 300 rpm to 3000 rpm for 5 seconds to 5 minutes. The film formation atmosphere contains 2 at.% of oxygen and 98 at.% of nitrogen, and the film formation temperature is 900 to 970°C.

A crystal grain boundary is produced by growing a single crystal YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x thin film (2) having a c-axis parallel to the surface on a single crystal YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (001) substrate (1) having a c-axis vertical to the surface by a magnetron sputtering method at a substrate temperature between 500°C and 680°C. The difference of the orientations makes a grain boundary at the interface without interposition of any other material than YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x . The grain boundary is utilized as a Josephson junction.

A superconducting film is disclosed which has the following composition:
(Nd, Ba) 3 Cu 3 O 7-d
where d is a number greater than 0 but smaller than 0.5. The superconducting film has the same crystal structure as that of YBa 2 CU 3 O 7 except that part of the Nd sites and/or part of the Ba sites are occupied by Ba and Nd atoms, respectively.
摘要:
A process for formation of oxide thin film, which comprises applying a laser beam on a target oxide material to generate a vapor therefrom and depositing the vapor on a substrate to form an oxide thin film on the substrate, wherein the formation of an oxide thin film on the substrate is conducted by disposing the target and the substrate face to face, scanning the laser beam applied onto the target, in a direction normal to the target central axis, and rotating the substrate.
