Fabrication of superconducting MgB2 thin films by magnetron co-sputtering on (001) MgO substrates — •Savio Fabretti, Patrick Thomas, Markus Meinert, and Andy Thomas — Bielefeld University, Germany
We fabricated superconducting MgB2 thin films on (001) MgO substrates. The samples were prepared by magnetron rf and dc co-sputtering on heated substrates. They were annealed ex-situ for one hour at temperatures between 450∘C and 750∘C. We will show that the substrate temperature during the sputtering process and the post annealing temperatures play a crucial role in forming MgB2 superconducting thin films. We achieved a critical onset temperature of 27.1 K for a film thickness of 30 nm. The crystal structures were measured by x-ray diffraction.
