Abstract

Systematic studies of the effects of pulsed laser deposition processing parameters on plume dynamics and resultant film properties have been performed. Plume angular distributions, cosm(θ), were observed to be variable between 1 > m > 15 depending on laser energy density and spot size. Under optimized conditions, epitaxial, superconducting thin films could be grown in‐situ on a variety of single‐crystal substrates. High quality, 2000 Å  ss thick films were obtained at deposition rates approaching 150 Å/sec.
