Abstract

YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin films were fabricated using sedimentation deposition method on STO (100) substrates. Annealing temperature and flux content were varied to impose epitaxial growth while maintaining phase purity. From XRD data analysis, it was observed that the addition of 15 wt.% KCl to the precursor powder followed by quench annealing at 1010°C for 30 minutes produced highly c-axis oriented films with virtually no phase segregation.
