Abstract
We report on the results of a YBa2Cu3 O 7−x (YBCO) superconductive transition edge bolometer (TEB) fabricated on a Ce0.9La0.1 O 2−7 (CLO) buffered single crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrate. Metal organic deposition was used for the fabrication of both the YBCO thin film as well as CLO buffer layer, while standard photolithography was applied for TEB preparation. YBCO thin film properties were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AC susceptibility and resistance versus temperature measurements. Optical response of the TEB in terms of voltage amplitude and phase was analysed and measured through four-probe technique in a liquid nitrogen cooling system. An increase in voltage amplitude response was observed for the fabricated YBCO/CLO/YSZ bolometer compared to previously reported TEBs with similarly deposited YBCO thin film on a SrTiO3 (STO). This increase is assumed to be a result of the lower thermal conductivity and lower specific heat capacity of YSZ compared to STO substrate.
