Abstract
Deposition and in situ oxygen annealing of YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) thin films with < 110 > perpendicular to the plane of the film were systematically studied for the detailed structure and superconducting properties of the films. The films were grown on SrTiO3 (110) crystals with PrBa2Cu3O7-delta (110) (PrBCO) buffer layer by pulsed laser deposition, and afterwards in situ annealed in normal O-2 pressure at different temperatures between 550 degrees C and 925 degrees C. It was found that superconducting properties cannot be induced in the (110) oriented phase with annealing; instead high-temperature annealing rearranged some of the material in the films to (103) and (001) orientations, which were found partly superconducting even at 90 K.
