Abstract

We for the first time report a successful fabrication of a high-J C SmBa2Cu3O7-δ(SmBCO) thin film (∼240 nm thickness) on SrTiO3 (100) substrate by the pulsed electron beam deposition (PED) process. For this study, we systematically investigated the effect of processing parameters, including substrate temperature (Ts), ambient oxygen pressure (PO2), and target-to-substrate distance, on superconducting properties, including critical temperature (TC) and critical current density (JC), of PED-processed SmBCO films. The highest JC value of 1.37 MA/cm 2 at 77 K in self field was obtained from an optimally processed sample using Ts of 900°C (corresponding to real substrate temperature of 810°C), PO2 of 15 mTorr, and target-to-substrate distance of 9 cm, evidencing that this process is a potential alternative to the PLD process.
