The use of the Ba(thd):! precursor, in the elaboration of thin superconductor layers by OMCVD, is not satisfactory because its volatility decreases when it is kept at the sublimation temperature during the deposition. In order to avoid this problem, fluorine complexes, such as Ba(hfa)2 can be used. Nevertheless, its thermal decomposition at high temperature induces the presence of baryum fluoride, which is harmful for obtaining superconductor films with high critical temperature. This work is aiming to study the elaboration of superconducting deposits at low temperature and without fluorine. We have undertaken a program based on a photo-assisted thermal decomposition of various organometallic compounds, which are used as precursors of superconductor layers. Photonic assistance enables to obtain copper deposits at 150°C. The results of the photo-assisted decomposition of C~( t h d )~and C~( h f a )~ are presented here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
