Abstract
Thick films of the high temperature TIBa2Ca2Cu3Oz superconductor have been prepared from a precursor Ba2Ca2Cu3Oz obtained by spray pyrolysis. In this paper, we report on the parameters which mainly control the formation of the superconducting phase : the composition of the nitrates solution, the substrate temperature and the subsequent ex-situ thallination annealing. The sample were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and by secondary electron microscopy. Epitaxial film ( 1 to 2 µm thick ) with a critical temperature Tc=107 K and a critical density of current Jc(77 K, OT)=2.103 A/cm2 have been obtained.
