Abstract

Superconducting thick films of Tl-based cuprate were grown via the sol-gel technique with a two-step method: deposition of a Tl-free precursor film followed by Tl-vapor annealing. A zero resistance superconducting transition temperature ( T c) of 120 K on polycrystalline MgO substrates for Tl-1223 films and of 124 K on (100) LaAlO 3 substrates and polycrystalline MgO substrates for Tl-2223 films was obtained. The intragranular critical current density at 5 K of these films is greater than 10 6 A/cm 2 for Tl-1223 and Tl-2223. The microstructure of these films was examined with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
