YBCO thin films of 200 nm thicknesses were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering using different deposition rates between 1.0 nm/min and 2.0 nm/min onto 24° bicrystal SrTiO3 (STO) substrates. The thin film samples were subsequently analyzed by XRD and AFM in order to determine their crystalline structures and surface morphologies respectively. The 67 pH directly coupled DC-SQUIDs with 4 μm-wide bicrystal Josephson junctions were fabricated, and characterized with respect to their device performances. The variations in the critical current (Ic), the voltage modulation depth (ΔV) and the noise performance of DC-SQUIDs were reported. The SQUIDs having relatively low deposition rate of 1.0 nm/min was observed to have larger voltage modulation depth as well as higher critical current than that of the samples having larger rate of 2.0 nm/min. The better noise performances were observed as the film deposition rate decreases. The results were associated with the thin film structure and the SQUID characteristics.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12The Superconducting Transition Width and Illumination Wavelength Dependence of the Response of Mgo Substrate Ybco Transition Edge Bolometers(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Öktem, B.; Bozbey, Ali; Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, Doğan; Fardmanesh, M.Dependence of the phase and magnitude of the response of MgO substrate YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) transition edge bolometers to the near infrared radiation on the superconducting transition width is presented in this work. The bolometers were made of YBCO thin films of 200 nm thickness that were grown on single crystal MgO (1 0 0) substrates by DC inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. We have measured the responses of both large and small area devices with respect to the bias temperature and radiation modulation frequency. We have observed that the superconducting transition width has major effects on the response of the bolometers such as; on a dip of the phase of the response versus modulation frequency curve around 1 Hz, the rate of decrease of the magnitude of the response, and dependence of the phase of the response on temperature at mid-range modulation frequency. We have investigated a correlation between the superconducting transition width and the YBCO film surface morphology of the devices. In addition, the illumination wavelength dependence of the optical response of both wide and narrow transition width devices has been investigated. Here we present the analysis and the possible mechanisms that can affect the response of the bolometers at the superconducting transition region.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Deposition Conditions on Yba2cu3o 7-? Thin Films by Inverted Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering and Substrate Effects(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, DoğanThe dependence of YBCO thin film properties on the deposition conditions was studied for different substrates. The deposition conditions were optimized for the epitaxial growth of high quality YBCO thin films of 1500 Å thickness onto single crystal (100-oriented) SrTiO3 (STO), MgO and LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates by DC Inverted Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering (ICMS). The samples were investigated in detail by means of X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), EDX, AFM, ρ-T, magnetic susceptibility and current-voltage (I-V) characterizations. The samples show strong diamagnetic behavior and sharp transition temperatures of 89-91 K with ΔT < 0.5 K. XRD of the samples exhibited highly c-axis orientation. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the rocking curves were ranging typically from 0.22 to 0.28°. The samples have smooth surfaces as shown from AFM micrographs. The surface roughness, Ra, changed between 5-7 nm. I-V characteristics were obtained from the 20μm-wide microbridges, which were patterned by a laser writing technique. The critical current densities (Jc, 1.06 × 106 for LAO-based YBCO, 1.39 × 106 for MgO-based YBCO, 1.67 × 106A/cm2 for STO based YBCO) of the microbridges were evaluated from I-V curves at 77 K.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 40Investigation of the Variation in Weak-Link Profile of Yba 2cu3-Xagxo7 Superconductors by Ag Doping Concentration(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Tepe, Mustafa; Avcı, İlbeyi; Koçoğlu, H.; Abukay, DoğanThe effect of Ag doping concentration on the microstructure, transport properties and weak-link profile of YBa2Cu3-xAg xO7-δ bulk superconducting compound was investigated through resistance-temperature (R-T), ac magnetic susceptibility (χ-T), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the critical current density (Jc) versus applied magnetic field (Jc-B) measurements. We used the additive method with cationic ratio of x=0.1-0.4 for the YBCO-Ag system. The change in the silver doping concentration slightly affected the transition temperatures (Tc,zero), whereas, the critical current densities (Jc) of the samples and their magnetic field (B) dependencies were noticeably affected. The improvement on the microstructural properties of YBCO bulk superconductors was observed in SEM analysis, the J c values increased and their magnetic field dependencies decreased with the increasing of Ag concentration up to x=0.2. As well as the current transport properties. Ag doping up to a certain amount produces texturing that gives rise to a modification in the weak-link profile resulting in an enhanced strength of flux pinning which causes an increase in the current carrying capacity.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Si Ion Implanted Yba 2cu3o7-? Thin Films and Microbridges(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Serincan, Uğur; Öktem, Bülent; Turan, Raşit; Abukay, DoğanFabrication of superconducting bilayer YBa2Cu3O 7-δ (YBCO) thin film structure by Si ion implantation and properties of microbridge patterned on that are presented. YBCO thin film of 150 nm thickness was grown on single crystal (100) SrTiO3 substrate by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. The sample was implanted with 100 keV, 1×1016 Si ions/cm2. Upon implantation with Si, the sample lost its electrical conductivity and diamagnetism while its crystalline structure was preserved after the annealing of the sample. The implanted ions do not alter the overall crystal structure of high temperature superconductor film. This allows the growth of epitaxial superconducting second layer YBCO film on top of the implanted area without using any buffer layer, thus providing an effective method of fabricating multilayer structures. The second layer film and the microbridge patterned by laser writing technique, showed the superconducting properties similar to those of pure YBCO base layer with a reduced critical current density.
