abstract = {Despite impressive progress in the development of
superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD),
the main obstacle for the widespread use of such detectors
is the low operating temperature required for
low-temperature superconductors. The very attractive idea of
increasing the operating temperature using high-temperature
superconductors for SNSPD fabrication is problematic due to
the insufficient quality of ultra-thin films from
high-temperature superconductors, which is one of the key
requirements for the single-photon detection by
superconducting nanowires. In this work, we demonstrate the
possibility of fabricating ultra-thin YBa2Cu3O7−x films on
SrTiO3 substrates with a surface flatness of ±1 unit cell
and a high critical current density up to 14 MA cm−2 at T
= 78 K. The critical current density of ultra-thin films had
very low value in the first three unit cell layers adjacent
to the substrate and reached nearly the bulk value at the
fifth layer. $97\%$ of the superconducting current is
carried by only two upper layers of a 5-unit-cell thick
YBa2Cu3O7−x film. Due to such superconducting current
distribution over the film thickness and good surface
flatness 5-unit-cell thick YBa2Cu3O7−x films could be
promising for the fabrication of single-photon detectors.},
