Abstract

The use of lasers in the formation and surface processing of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) is reviewed. Presently, thin film fabrication by reactive laser sputtering, and surface patterning by laser-induced reduction/metallization and ablation are the most promising applications. The great majority of the investigations have been performed for Y-Ba-Cu-O.
