Surface halogenation experimental technique of postgrowth nonaqueous chemical processing of high-temperature superconductors. Research continues in use of technique to obtain superconducting and/or passivated surfaces, to etch bulk superconductors, and to make low-resistance electrical contacts. Most promising etchant is bromine dissolved in such polar nonaqueous solvents as alchols, acetone, or ether. Etchant appears to act only on surface without adversely affecting superconducting bulk of film.
