Abstract

Epitaxial Tl-2201 films have been prepared on single crystal LaAlO3 substrates. Precursor films made by laser ablation were treated with Tl2O(g) at high temperature in near-equilibrium conditions. The effects of annealing temperature, heating rate and stoichiometry of the Tl2O(g) source on the properties of the films were investigated. By optimizing the method of preparation, highly smooth, c-axis oriented and epitaxial films were obtained. The rocking curve of the (0,0,10) reflection had a FWHM of 0.27%. A maximum Tc of 92 K was achieved in as-annealed films.
