Abstract

The dynamics of melting and ablation of high Tc YBa2Cu3O7-x superconducting thin films flashed by a pulsed KrF excimer laser(λ=248nm) or a pulsed Nd-YAG laser (λ =1.06μ m) were studied numerically. The fundamental model during a pulsed laser irradiation was a one-dimensional heat conduction equation. The finite element method was applied to solve the equation including the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of YBaCuO thin films. In addition, the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-x bulk(l.5mm thick) flashed by a pulsed XeCl excimer laser (λ =308nm) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to estimate the threshold incident laser energy density for surface melting and ablation. The good agreements between the numerical calculations and the experimental results were obtained.
