摘要: Transport, structural, and magnetic properties of c‐axis‐oriented Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ thin films grown by off‐axis in situ rf sputtering on MgO substrates have been investigated. By varying the substrate surface preparation prior to deposition, could be with systematic improvements their dc transport structural properties. At same time, these display a decrease irreversible magnetization ΔM(H) at all temperatures. Transport inductive critical current densities cases displayed temperature dependence that ascribed flux creep and/or intragrain Josephson junctions. The for showed sample size consistent Bean critical‐state model. An anticorrelation between was observed, which can understood terms changes density pinning sites as function preparation.
