## Abstract Biβbased oxide thin films are important superconducting materials because of its wide applicability, high transition temperatures, and low toxicity. To achieve high quality Biβbased oxide thin films by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), the composition is a key parameter. Here, Bi, Cu, Cu/Sr

β¦ Synopsis
Rutherford backscattering is used to obtain absolute compositional data from InGaAs thin Γlms without any reference standards. Carbon-doped thin Γlms with compositions varying between 0.02 AE x AE 0.4 have In x
Ga 1~x As been analysed and values of x obtained with an estimated accuracy of ΒΏ1% in most cases. The observed variation in two measurements of a set of nine samples with a range of values of x has a mean of 1.000 and a standard deviation of 2.2% . This observed error is not inconsistent (at the 5% signiΓcance level) with the estimated error. The analytical method described is valid for many compound thin Γlms.

The ac magnetoresistance of thin films at frequencies up to 10 kHz was successfully measured. Patterned electrodes with mechanical flexibility were pressed onto the film surface by using a rubber pad. Induction noises were reduced considerably in comparison to the conventional four-electrode method.
