Her innovative methods have advanced the technology for forming thin films of high-temperature superconductors.
Latest Patents
Martha's latest patents include a chemical vapor phase method for forming thin films of high temperature. This method involves chemically vapor depositing a thin film of an oxide-based superconductor on a substrate, which is preferably made of superconducting material. The process begins with the formation of gaseous reactants that are then reacted together in a reaction zone adjacent to a spinning substrate. A preferred embodiment of this invention exposes the reactants to UV light during the reaction to catalyze the process.
Another notable patent is the liquid phase epitaxial method for forming single crystal films of high-temperature superconductors. This method entails forming an oxide-based solvent and dissolving a stoichiometric amount of compounds capable of forming a superconducting material to create a molten solution. The molten solution is maintained at a temperature ranging from about 400°C to about 1000°C. A substrate is immersed in the molten solution, allowing for the epitaxial growth of a thin film of a superconductor crystal. Additionally, a source of oxygen is bubbled through the molten solution during the growth process.
