β¦ Synopsis
As-grown superconducting MgB 2 thin films were prepared by very simple RF sputtering method using a single target without post-annealing process. A two-component target comprising of many small chunks of B on a Mg disk was used. The films were deposited onto polished single crystal sapphire (R-plane) or SrTiO 3 (1 1 1) substrates at rather low temperatures ranging from 100 to 110 Β°C. Five samples on SrTiO 3 substrate and one on sapphire showed zero resistivity at about 15 K and onset at about 20 K with measuring the resistance versus temperature (R-T curves) and the current versus voltage curves (I-V curve).
