Development of Textured Buffer Layer on Metal Tapes for Oxide Superconductors
Abstract
The objective this project was to develop biaxially textured buffer layer on metal substrate needed for the growth of high-temperature superconductor such as yttrium-barium-copper-oxide. UES, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, has developed a multilayer architecture based on in-plane textured MgO film by inclined substrate deposition technique oristatic and moving Hastelloy substrates. The layer-by-layer epitaxy was verified by using x-ray pole figure and phi-scan analysis of the multilayered samples. Yttrium-barium-copper-oxide layer grown on this multilayer architecture by pulsed laser deposition process exhibited T(sub c) of 89K and J(sub c) in the range 1-2 x 10(exp 5) A/sq cm.
