Abstract

Sr₂RuO₄ is the only known layered perovskite that is free of copper, yet superconducting. Its low metallic resistivity and excellent lattice match with YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ make it an attractive candidate for use as conductive electrodes to YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ-based superconducting devices or as a normal metal in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ-based SNS junctions. We have determined optimal deposition conditions for growth of single-domain epitaxial films of Sr₂RuO₄. Films with excellent crystallinity are readily grown at substrate temperatures exceeding 1000 °C at low pressures. At lower temperatures and higher pressures, films predominantly consist of the SrRuO₃ phase. Resistivity versus temperature measurements reveal that the as-grown Sr₂RuO₄ films are metallic, but not superconducting. Epitaxial YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ/Sr₂RuO₄ heterostructures have also been grown. X-ray and resistivity measurements show that the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ films are of high quality.
