概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

The purpose of this project is to study the influence of the growth characteristics and interface arrangement of atoms on the electromagnetism properties of heterostructures formed by two different superconductors. In the experiment, YBa2Cu3O7-δ/Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 (YBCO/NCCO) hetero-structure grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrate was observed using the spherical aberration corrected transmission electron microscope (JEM-ARM200F). The atomic arrangement and material growth orientation at the YBCO/NCCO and NCCO/STO interfaces were studied, and the bright field and high-angle annular dark field images of the above interfaces were obtained.

実験 / Experimental

Observing the interface atomic arrangement characteristics of YBa2Cu3O7-δ/Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 heterostructure using the STEM mode of ARM200 (Applied voltage is 200kV).

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

    The two-dimensional atomic images of the interface of YBa2Cu3O7-δ/Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4/SrTiO3 (YBCO/NCCO/STO) heterostructure (Figs. 1 (a) and (b)) were obtained using the STEM mode of JEM-ARM 200F. The YBCO/NCCO heterostructure is epitaxially grown on STO (001) plane in the (001) direction. The first epitaxial layers of NCCO and YBCO are found to be both Cu-O layers (as shown in Figs. 1 (b) and (c)). In addition, a distortion layer of double Cu-O plane was observed at the YBCO/NCCO interface (as shown in the ① region in Fig. 1 (b)). It is believed that the formation of the distorted layer may be the result of interface stress. These experimental results provide a valuable information on understanding the electron transport characteristics at the interface of double-layer superconductor heterostructures.
