Silver-assisted growth of NdBa2Cu3O7-d thin films: A novel approach for the growth of superior quality ceramic oxide films

J. Kurian, H. Sato, T. Makimoto +1

We have grown NdBa2Cu3O7-d films under silver atomic flux by molecular beam epitaxy, which show a drastic improvement in microstructure and also crystallinity leading to 30 % enhan…
