Abstract

MgB2 superconducting films with a thickness of 10 nm to 8 μ have been prepared on SiC substrates by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD). The study on Tc and Jc shows that as the film grows thicker, Tc increases and then keeps stable, which Jc increases at first, and then drops dramatically. We get the maximum Tc at 41.4 K and Jc at 2.3× 108 A·cm-2. This also shows that we can use the method of HPCVD to prepare high-quality of clean MgB2 film. And its thickness can be from 10nm ultrathin films and 100 nm thin films up to 8 μm thick film. It is the first time so far as we know that Tc and Jc are studied in this range of thickness. This will lead to a complete and systematical understanding of the superconducting MgB2 films. And it is also important and practical to choose the thickness when preparing MgB2 films.
