Abstract: | Experimental evidence is presented for the existence of clusters possessing metallic conductivity in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O6+x (x<0.4) films with a tetragonal structure. Despite the overall dielectric state, the optical transmission spectra reveal the regions of absorption due to free charge carriers. The presence of metallic clusters is also confirmed by the X-ray diffraction data. At low temperatures, these metallic clusters are capable of converting into quantum dots responsible for the θ(T) = const regions in the temperature dependence of the electric resistance. The process of cluster formation can be enhanced by high-power laser (KrF) radiation. |
