Abstract

High quality $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ thin films have been fabricated by pulsed Nd:YAG laser deposition using an unusual 'off-axis' target-substrate geometry. Various properties of superconducting $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ thin films have been studied systematically as a function of oxygen pressure during the deposition, in both 'on-axis' and the unusual 'off-axis' target substrate geometry. In the 'off-axis' geometry, one can completely eliminate the so-called 'laser droplets' form the thin surface and thus obtain smooth high qualify films. It is found that films with optimum structural and electrical properties are obtained at a lower oxygen pressure range during the 'off-axis' deposition when compared with that required in the 'on-axis' deposition geometry.
