Abstract

The Y3d, Ba3d 5/2, Cu2p 3/2, and O1s X-ray photoelectron spectra of thick (600 nm) superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 − δ films deposited on textured Ni-W substrates with Y2O3 + ZrO2 and CeO2 buffer layers have been studied. It has been established that, after the mechanical removal of surface layers with a diamond scraper (and as the analyzed region of the film approaches the interface), a decrease in the oxygen content leads to a decrease of the orthophase fraction and an increase of the tetraphase and Cu+ ion fractions. This is caused by the presence of elastic stresses in the superconducting film due to the lattice misfit between the phases making up a composite sample. These stresses prevent oxygen diffusion involved in oxidizing annealing. The spectra of the superconducting film have not revealed signals generated by elements of the substrate and buffer layers.
