Title: Method for making high-critical-current-density YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} superconducting layers on metallic substrates

Patent ·
OSTI ID:20013792

A method is disclosed for fabricating YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} superconductor layers with the capability of carrying large superconducting currents on a metallic tape (substrate) supplied with a biaxially textured oxide buffer layer. The method represents a simplification of previously established techniques and provides processing requirements compatible with scale-up to long wire (tape) lengths and high processing speeds. This simplification has been realized by employing the BaF{sub 2} method to grow a YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} film on a metallic substrate having a biaxially textured oxide buffer layer.
