Abstract

The present review reports the innovative attempts made in the synthesis of a variety of high T_c superconductor families in the form of thin films by electrochemical techniques. Summarizing the brief background of electrochemical deposition process, the growth mechanism of high T_c superconducting films has been explained. The successful stories of room temperature electrochemical deposition of RE-Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ, Bi–Sr–Ca–CuO, Tl–Ba–Ca–CuO, Hg–Ba–Ca–CuO and MgB₂ superconductors in the form of thin films on silver substrates have been summarized. The room temperature electrochemical synthesis technique has helped to form a low-dimensional structure at the interface of Al/Tl-2223 hetero structure, which leads to a pathway for high T_c and J_c. The photoinduced effects of a variety of heterostructures formed with HTSC systems and CdSe semiconductor are also described.
