✦ Synopsis


We studied the behavior of the oxygen in the YBa2Cu3Ox films using ~aO as a tracer. Pure ~eO2 gas was • !ntroduced "into a chamber during" depos~ion: Then it was. changed,efor 1602 gas in the subsequent cool-=ng oown process, t nough YBCO films aosolutely contained only O atoms in their oxygen sites during growth orocess, almost all leO atoms were replaced with ~sO atoms while the films were cooled down; 95% of ~80 atoms were substituted using if-plasma, and 85% of ~eO atoms without the plasma. It shows that rf-plasma strongly affected the oxygenation of the YBCO films even in the cooling process.
