AbstractIn this study, the stress analysis of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Ni architextured materials under cryogenic conditions was carried out for coated conductor applications. YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2 multilayer films were fabricated on Ni tape substrate using reel-to-reel sol-gel and Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) systems. The microstructural evolution of high temperature superconducting YBCO film and buffe...

In order to understand the all-chemical-solution-deposition (CSD) processes for manufacturing coated conductors, we investigated the phase evolution of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) films deposited by a low-fluorine metal-organic solution deposition (LF-MOD) method on CSD derived Ce0.9La0.1O2/Gd2Zr2O7/NiW. It is shown that the phase transition from the pyrolyzed film to fully converted YBCO film in the LF-M...

AC losses of YBCO coated conductors are investigated by calculation and experiment for the higher frequency regime. Previous research using YBCO film deposited onto single-crystal substrates demonstrated the effectiveness of ‘striping’ or filamentary subdivision as a technique for AC loss reduction. As a result of these studies the idea of subdividing YBCO ‘coated conductors’ (YBCO, overlayer, ...

The application of high-temperature YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) superconducting material is a considerable prospect for the growing energy shortages. Here, SmBiO3 (SBO) films were deposited on (100)-orientated yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) simple crystal substrates via the chemical solution deposition (CSD) approach for coated conductors, and the effects of sintering oxygen partial pressure on SBO f...

This work discusses the development of an analysis routine for evaluating nanoparticle distribution in nanocomposite thin films. YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films were synthesized via a chemical solution deposition approach starting from colloidal YBCO solutions with preformed nanoparticles. The nanoparticles and interlayer diffusion are evaluated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling c...

LaCaBaCu3O7 (La1113) is a superconductor below TC(onset)=80K and its structure is similar to the tetragonal YBCO. In this work the magnetic properties of a bulk La1113 sample are reported and compared to those of YBCO superconductor. We explore a possibly relation of this property to its particular crystalline structure, particularly to the oxygen deficiency. In contrast to a bulk YBCO, some ma...

– The superconducting current-phase relation (CPR) of Nb/Au/(001)YBa2Cu3Ox heterojunctions prepared on epitaxial c-axis oriented YBa2Cu3Ox thin films has been measured in a single-junction interferometer. For the first time, the second harmonic of the CPR of such junctions has been observed. The appearance of the second harmonic and the relative sign of the first and second harmonics of the CPR...

We have studied systematically the role of silver in improving microstructure and properties of Y1Ba2Cu3O7 YBCO thin films. We have more than doubled the grain size to nearly 1.8 m and reduced processing temperatures by incorporating Ag in the YBCO films, which is accomplished by using a composite target containing 15% by weight of Ag. These films show approximately four times higher Jc than th...
