Book Description
The four day EMRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg, France (June 4 -7 1996) Symposium on "High Temperature Superconductor Thin Films: Growth Mechanisms - Interfaces - Multilayers" was held in conjunction with the Third Workshop in Europe. The benefit of including the Workshop into the Symposium was the advantage of bringing in an additional far larger and disciplinarily more diverse audience and through the organization of the workshop receiving invited and contributed lectures as well as posters which was supplemental to the main Symposium.
The Symposium focused on the specific topics of growth interfaces and multilayers and highlighted the continuing need for there to be active interplay between chemists designing new precursor molecules and depositing thin films, and engineers applying HTS materials with deficiencies and limitations to commercially oriented devices.
The majority of papers presented at the Symposium are included in these proceedings which is divided into 10 sections covering in the first section a wide selection of papers related to substrates, growth and epitaxy induced defects. Continuing into the second section with ultrathin films and grain boundary formation. Section three discusses oxygen ordering, film growth and oxygen related phenomena. The structural defects and transport in HTS thin films are investigated in section four, and tunnel barriers, heterostructures and Josephson Junctions, are covered in section five. Section six looks at emerging materials related to HTS thin film properties, and section seven moves on to Precursors issues. Deposition methods and film characterisation are looked at in depth in section eight and section nine. The final section of the proceedings discusses applications.
