Resistance and AC Susceptibility of YBCO 1:2:3 Films on Silver Substrates

The $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{δ}$ films were obtained directly on the polished silver substrates by the sedimentation process. Thickness of these films is of the order of several tens micrometers. The temperature dependences of the resistance and the AC susceptibility of the films were measured and analyzed. The critical temperatures of these specimens vary from 89 K to 91 K and they do not depend on the annealing temperatures. The critical currents were calculated from AC susceptibility measurements using the Bean's model
