Problems solved by technology

However, the annealing time required by these processes is from several minutes to more than ten minutes, and the following problems are encountered in the preparation process: the high volatility of Mg requires a higher Mg vapor pressure during the film growth process; the active chemical properties of Mg It makes it easy for Mg atoms to react with other substances, especially oxygen atoms, to form impurities; too high temperature can easily cause MgB 2 Decomposition, etc.
Too high heat treatment temperature or too long heat treatment time will cause excessive magnesium volatilization, oxidation and MgB 2 decomposition, resulting in the eventual growth of MgB 2 The film contains high borides due to the lack of Mg, which is not conducive to the formation of high-quality superconducting films

Abstract

A method for preparing a magnesium diboride superconducting film by electron beam annealing. The method uses an electron beam to anneal a magnesium diboride precursor film in a vacuum, and the magnesium and boron elements in the precursor film are eliminated within an annealing time of the order of seconds. A chemical reaction occurs ultimately producing a magnesium diboride superconducting film. During annealing, the electron beam parameters and annealing time are determined according to different precursor film thickness and annealing temperature requirements. The annealing of films with different thicknesses can be completed by precisely controlling the electron beam energy and dose. The magnesium diboride superconducting film prepared by the invention has stable performance, smooth surface, and a transition temperature higher than 35K. It has the advantages of uniform annealing, high efficiency, simple operation, etc., and can be used for the preparation of various functional films.
