First complex oxide superconductor by atomic layer deposition.

We here report on atomic layer deposition (ALD) of the superconducting complex oxide La2-xSrxCuO4-y and provide details of the structural and electrical properties of such films. This is the first report on a complex oxide thin film with superconducting properties that has been deposited by atomic layer deposition.
