Abstract

We report on the preparation of Y2Ba4Cu 8O20-x ("248") thin films by coevaporation using a combination of electron beam and Knudsen cell vapor sources. Our best film shows a superconducting onset at 80 K and zero resistance at 72 K. The x-ray diffraction patterns show nearly single phase "248" with a small YBa 2Cu3O7-x ("123") impurity. It has been our experience that films can be annealed at least twice without displaying any shift in diffraction peak position.
