Bulk targets of compounds in the system La(3-z)Me(z)Ba3Ca(1-v)Nc(sub v)Cu7O(16+v) where Me=rare earth or Na and Nc=Mg or Cd were prepared by solid state reactions. They were employed to deposit by pulse laser deposition thin films of the superconductor on single crystal substrates of LaA103, LSAT, and GGG. Phase relationships and orientation relationships were obtained from diffractometer scans. All compounds exhibited a (00l) relationship with all substrates. Lattice parameters, transition temperatures ...
This final report shows that the two-exposure FLI holographic method is feasible. We describe how the two-exposure FLI technique can be utilized by increasing the linear fringe frequency. Reprints of the published papers from this contract describing the modeling/experiment program are appended. The feasibility of an automatic readout for the linear fringe method is demonstrated by showing that observable and measureable effects at the defect site can be monitored. The ...
