Abstract

In this brief letter Gauzzi & Pavuna (GP) comment on several statements published recently in the Journal of Materials Research by their former co-workers Kellett & James (KJ) in the paper entitled “Ion beam sputter deposition of YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin films”. GP conclude that the KJ paper may be misleading to other workers. The present state of art for ion beam sputtering of cuprates is not the multitarget codeposition, but rather a simple, single target sputtering as reported in detail in Physica vol.182C no.3, p.57 1991, and Physica vol.185-9 p.2563 1991. In reply KJ thank GP for bringing their (GP) comments to their attention. KJ hope that this encourages further discussion and systematic evaluation of the somewhat hitherto underrated technique of YBCO thin film deposition by ion beam sputtering

Yttrium barium copper oxide

Yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) is a family of crystalline chemical compounds that display high-temperature superconductivity; it includes the first material ever discovered to become superconducting above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77 K) at about . Many YBCO compounds have the general formula YBa2Cu3O7−x (also known as Y123), although materials with other Y:Ba:Cu ratios exist, such as YBa2Cu4Oy (Y124) or Y2Ba4Cu7Oy (Y247). At present, there is no singularly recognised theory for high-temperature superconductivity.

Materials science

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Materials engineering is an engineering field of finding uses for materials in other fields and industries. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Age of Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy. Materials science still incorporates elements of physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Superconducting wire

Superconducting wires are electrical wires made of superconductive material. When cooled below their transition temperatures, they have zero electrical resistance. Most commonly, conventional superconductors such as niobium–titanium are used, but high-temperature superconductors such as YBCO are entering the market. Superconducting wire's advantages over copper or aluminum include higher maximum current densities and zero power dissipation.
