Abstract

We have for the first time epitaxially grown superlattices of Y-Ba-Cu-O/Dy-Ba-Cu-O by dc magnetron sputtering onto SrTiO3 and MgO substrates. The wavelengths range from 24 (twice the c axis) to 300 Å and x-ray diffractograms show satellite peaks characteristic of multilayers for each wavelength. The 24-Å-wavelength sample consists of, on the average, alternate planes of Y and Dy. The multilayers are superconducting with Tc0’s between 85 and 89 K, transition widths of 2 K, and resistivity ratios of about 3.
