Geballe of the department of applied physics has announced thai it has made superconducting films just 1,000 to 2,000 atoms thick by condensing a vapor of Lanthanum strontium Copper oxide onto a Flat surface. Two electronic devices called Point Contact and conventional Sandwich Type Tunnel junctions also were produced by the researchers with the vapor and with yttrium barium Copper Oji Ide.
