Abstract

We use atomic-layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy (ALL-MBE) to deposit atomically smooth films of cuprate superconductors and other complex oxides. Bilayers, multilayers, and superlattices are grown with atomic precision and virtually perfect interfaces. This has allowed a discovery and in-depth study of high-temperature interface superconductivity, which is briefly reviewed here.

Notes

  1. The electrolyte-superconductor technique was in fact pioneered by John McDevitt in early nineties, see e.g. the review by M.B. Clevenger et al. [8], and rediscovered almost two decades later.
