Abstract

Growth of epitaxial Cr-doped (Tl,Bi)-1212 films on LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and post-deposition annealing in static air has been achieved. The films exhibit a high transport Jc of over 1.5×106 A cm-2 at 77 K and self-field. Tc values measured by the four-probe method are in the range 94-100 K. ICP emission spectroscopy measurement shows a thallium deficiency, with about 0.15 atom bismuth per formula in the film. XRD θ-2θ, φ and ω scans show that the dominant phase is 1212, with excellent epitaxy. The film surface has typical PLD morphology as analyzed by SEM. TEM analysis found some inclusions in the film, and HREM found that three 1201 layers exist between the interface of 1212 phase and substrate.
