Induction of superconductivity in pulsed laser ablated La2CuO4 thin films by post-deposition fluorination

Pulsed laser ablation has been used to fabricate La2CuO4 thin films. Superconducting properties have been successfully induced in the films by an ex-situ, post-ablation annealing process in F2 gas resulting in a Tc (onset) of 36 K. The presence of two slightly different c-axis expanded phases in the...
