Abstract
Superconducting thin films of YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.7, having a superconducting transition temperature of 90.degree. K., are produced in a non-vacuum environment using Mettalo-Organic Deposition techniques. An ink comprising the neodecanoates of yttrium, barium, and copper is formed and spun on a single crystal substrate of strontium titanate. The ink is dried in an air environment, heated in an air environment at a temperature sufficient to decompose the neodecanoates, about 500.degree. C., and then heated again to promote recrystallization and grain growth of the remaining metal oxides. The resulting thin film exhibits superconductive characteristics at about 90.degree. K.
