Abstract
Y1Ba2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films were prepared by gas-phase growth and pulsed-laser deposition. The R-t plots of YBCO plume plasma-front propagation into 200 mTorr O2 were examined at heater temperatures of 22 and 600 °C. Curve fitting used a phenomenological a = -αυ2 drag model, where υ = υ0/(1+αυ0t); R = α-1 ln(1+αυ0t). The integrated Rayleigh scattering (RS) signal from nanoparticles suspended within 3.3 cm of the heater face at 22 °C was analyzed for PO(2) = 175, 200, 300, and 500 mTorr. The characteristic time τ of the RS-intensity growth and the onset time of observable RS were also analyzed at 22 °C as a function of PO(2). The onset O2 pressure for detectable RS is presented for varying heater temperatures.
