Abstract

application/pdf<br />Thin films of YNi2B2C superconductor by the magnetron sputtering technique have been synthesized. The YNi2B2C phase was found to crystallize very uniformly after annealing at 1050 °C in vacuum. The structure was investigated and the electric and magnetic properties were characterized. The films were c-axis oriented and showed a Tc onset of ~15 K by both magnetization and resistivity measurements. The results of the critical current measurement suggested the existence of anisotropies of pinning force and an upper critical field Bc2.
