Laser scanning microscopy studies on detwinned YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// thin films
Abstract
YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// thin films are heavily microtwinned due to the crystal's orthorhombic unit cell and the confining effects of underlying substrate. Single crystal YBCO can be detwinned by thermally annealing the sample while applying uniaxial pressure. A similar technique has been devised to detwin a portion of a YBCO thin film. Through the use of photolithographic techniques, a suspended YBCO microbridge structure is …
