Depending on laser fluence our samples showed a critical temperature of up to 8.4 K and critical current densities of 3.0 ยท 10 6 A/cm 2 at 4.2 K. X-ray diffraction measurements and TEM images suggest a granular structure with a preferred orientation of the (110) lattice plane parallel to the substrate surface. The superconducting properties of our films are significantly influenced by this granularity and the oxygen content in the film. We discuss the temperature dependence of the critical current density in the framework of an crossover from Ginzburg-Landau to Ambegaokar-Baratoff type behaviour. According to this the current transport is mainly dominated by Josephson-tunnelling in a granular network. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/234/1/012015$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:27-dbt-20230725-121352-001$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00058095 5051 530
