摘 要:YBa_2Cu_3O_(7-δ)(YBCO) films were deposited on(100)-oriented LaAlO_3(LAO) single crystal substrates by the dip-coating process using low-fluorine *** microstructures were characterized with the aid of X-ray diffractometry,scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron *** superconducting properties were measured by the standard four-probe *** experiment results show that the film obtained under high enough humidity conditions exhibits better c-axis texture and superconducting properties than the film under a relatively low humidity *** on the classical nucleation and chemical reaction thermodynamics theory, the underlying crystalline and growth mechanisms of YBCO films under certain humidity conditions are explained in combination with our experimental *** is suggested that the unreacted intermediate phases such as BaF_2 and CuO aggregated in the YBCO grain boundary will cause lattice distortion in the YBCO matrix and further induce the formation of a-axis oriented YBCO grains as crystallization ***,it is believed that the relative content of water vapor within the heat-treatment atmosphere plays quite an important role in the preparation of c-axis oriented YBCO film with good superconducting properties.
