Abstract

Superconductivity has been observed in thin films of LuBa2Cu3O7−δ, which otherwise does not form the 1:2:3 superconducting phase in bulk, presumably due to the small ionic radius of Lu. From this work, it is clear that the substrate influences the nucleation of the 1:2:3 superconducting phase in thin films. Results indicate that LuBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films with as good a quality as that achievable with YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films can be realized; zero resistance transition temperature (Tc) of 86 K and critical-current density (Jc) of 5×105 A cm−2 at 77 K have been obtained.
