Thermal analysis of metal organic precursors for functional oxide preparation: Thin films versus powders

The thermal decomposition of several metal organic precursors, used in the preparation of YBa2Cu3O7 x superconducting coated conductors (Cu acetate, Cu, Y and Ba trifluoroacetates and Ce propionate) is analyzed by means of several thermoanalytical techniques (TG/DTA, MS and DSC). In all cases, the m...
