✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the structural modulation and variation of superconducting transition temperature of (Cu, C)Ba 2 CuO 4±d ((Cu, C)-1201) thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on (1 0 0) SrTiO 3 single crystal substrates in the off-axis configuration. Thin films were deposited in a gas mixture of Ar, O 2 and CO 2 where the Ar:O 2 ratio was kept constant at 1:2 with a total pressure of 15 mTorr and CO 2 gas pressure was varied between 1 and 3 mTorr. XRD patterns revealed the formation of high quality thin films with c-axis oriented perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. The value of the c-lattice parameter varied in the range, c = 8.29-8.33 A ˚. These films had a superconducting resistive transition temperature (T c onset) ranging between 25 and 40 K above which, almost all films showed semiconductor like behavior. Superconductivity in (Cu, C)-1201 thin films was further confirmed by the diamagnetic response observed in ac susceptibility measurement.

An important correlation of 1223 phase development to film thickness has been found on the films made by laser ablation and post-annealing on (100) LaA103 single crystal substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the 1223 phase development
