Description
Summary:Thin films of YBa sub(2)Cu sub(3)O sub(7- delta ) grown on < 001 > -oriented SrTiO sub(3) substrates attain zero resistance at a temperature of T = 92 K and have a superconducting critical current, j sub(c), of more than 3 x 10 super(6) Acm super(-2) at T = 77 K. A low resistivity superconducting Cu-rich phase shows great promise for epitaxial growth on SrTiO sub(3) substrates because of an improved lattice match in the growth direction and strong epitaxial ordering due to the presence of the new phase.
