Abstract

YBaCuO superconducting thin films were prepared by multilayer deposition on different kinds of substrates. High Tc with an onset of 94 K and a zero resistance at 84 K has been obtained by deposition on pure ZrO2 substrates. The nature of zero resistance as well as the dR/dT characteristic above Tc and the influence of substrates are discussed.
