摘要
We have studied the structural and superconducting properties of MgB2 thin films made by pulsed-laser deposition followed by in situ annealing. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy reveals a nanocrystalline mixture of textured MgO and MgB2 with very small grain sizes. A zero-resistance transition temperature (T(c)0) of 34 K and a zero-field critical current density (J(c)) of 1.3x10(6) A/cm(2) were obtained. The irreversibility field was similar to8 T at low temperatures, although severe pinning instability was observed. The result is a step towards making the in situ deposition process a viable technique for MgB2 Josephson junction technologies. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
