Abstract :
We have studied the microwave surface impedance of large YBCO films on as-prepared MgO substrates and on annealed MgO substrates with 50 mm in diameter. YBCO films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The surface resistance (RS), homogeneity in the RS, and structural properties of YBCO on annealed MgO appeared improved compared with those of YBCO on as-prepared MgO. The reduced RS of YBCO films on annealed MgO is attributed to improved in-plane orientation of the YBCO grains in the films with local variations in the in-plane orientation of YBCO grains correlated well with the RS for both YBCO films on as-prepared MgO and those on annealed MgO.
