observed. The results of the resistive measurements on the LuNi$_{2}$B$_{2}$C layer deposited under opti- mized conditions ( T = 830 ℃ , f = 5 Hz) are shown in Fig. 5 (a) and (b). The external magnetic field H was aligned parallel to the c–axis of the borocarbide which here is parallel to the normal axis of the films. The transition curves are quite steep as seen in Fig. 5(b) and the slight broadening for higher magnetic fields, caused by fluctuations in the film, is known from crystalline samples as well [29]. The residual resistivity ratio (RRR) of the film was 10 TABLE I: Onset of the resistive superconduction transition temperatures (T 90 c ) and resistive tran- sition widths (ΔT$_{c}$) of LuNi$_{2}$B$_{2}$C films prepared at different temperatures using a laser repetition rate of 20 Hz FIG. 6: Upper critical field of the LuNi$_{2}$B$_{2}$C film in [001] direction, extracted from the midpoints of the R( T ) curves shown in Fig. 5. The data is fitted using the power law H$_{c}$$_{2}$ ( T ) = H$_{c}$$_{2}$ (0) · (1 − T/T$_{c}$ ) (1+ α $^{)}$. The positive curvature for T ⪅ T$_{c}$ calculated from the fit is about α = 0.19 which indicates a relatively low intraband scattering in the film.
