It has been observed that the inhomogeneity of
high-temperature superconducting films influences its temporal
characteristics under the local action of electron probe pulses.
The proposed method of time-resolved, low-temperature scanning
electron microscopy is the first step in this direction. For the
first time local investigations with a time resolution of 1 ns
have been made of the influence of weak bonds during switching
from the superconducting to the normal state and back, under
local heating by an electron probe. It was shown that for a
YBaCuO film 400 nm thick at T = 80 K, the thermal diffusion time
is between 400 and 600 ns depending on the parameters of the film
and substrate sections adjacent to the point under study.
