Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the critical current density (J{sub c}) of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (YBCO) superconducting films at high magnetic fields. Thin Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO) superconducting films on LaAlO{sub 3} substrates were prepared by modified low-fluorine metal organic deposition method (LF-MOD) in order to investigate the effect of Yb substitution on the microstructure and superconducting properties of a YBCO-coated conductor. In this study, single-phased, c-axial-aligned Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO films were obtained. Yb doping had a little effect on the critical temperature (T{sub c}) and transition width (ΔT) values of Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO films. An abnormal phenomenon was observed that the J{sub c} of Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO films at low field was smaller than that of the pure YBCO film, but the J{sub c} of Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO films at high field was much greater than that of the undoped YBCO film. Compared to pure YBCO film, the J{sub c} values of Y{sub 0.75}Yb{sub 0.25}BCO and Y{sub 0.25}Yb{sub 0.75}BCO films were enhanced by a factor of 8 at 8 T, 65 K, which meant that chemical substitution of Yb into the Y site could improve flux pinning significantly under themore »« less

Aspects of the SrO-CuO-TiO ₂ Ternary System Related to the Deposition of SrTiO ₃ and Copper-Doped SrTiO ₃ Thin-Film Buffer Layers

Thesis/Dissertation Ayala, Alicia

YBa ₂Cu ₃O _27-δ (YBCO) coated conductors are promising materials for large-scale superconductivity applications. One version of a YBCO coated conductor is based on ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) of magnesium oxide (MgO) onto polycrystalline metal substrates. SrTiO ₃ (STO) is often deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods as a buffer layer between the YBCO and IBAD MgO due to its chemical stability and lattice mismatch of only ~1.5% with YBCO. In this work, some aspects of the stability of STO with respect to copper (Cu) and chemical solution deposition of STO on IBAD MgO templates were examined. Solubilitymore »« less

Angular-Dependent Vortex Pinning Properties of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ}/Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} Quasi-Multilayers

Journal Article Zhong, H. X. ; Liu, X. M. ; Boubeche, M. ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

A series of quasi-multilayers of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (YBCO)/Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} specifically 70 × (m YBCO/n Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}) were prepared on SrTiO{sub 3} single crystal using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) with a controlled deposition pulses of m = 40 and n = 2, 5, and 10 for YBCO and Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}, respectively. The x-ray diffraction patterns indicate that all the present quasi-multilayers exhibit good c-axis orientation. The angular dependence of critical current density (J{sub c}) on applied magnetic field directions are systemically measured to study the anisotropic vortex pinning performances for those quasi-multilayers. It is revealed that comparedmore »« less

Demonstration of High Current Density YBCO Coated Conductors on RE ₂O ₃-Buffered Ni Substrates with Two New Alternative Architectures

Conference Beach, D B ; Chirayil, T G ; Christen, D K ; ...

In continuation of our effort to develop single buffer layer architectures for YBCO (YBa ₂Cu ₃O _{7-g) coated tape conductors, we have studied RE₂O₃ (RE = Y, and rare earths) as candidate materials. Three types of crystal structures including the preferred cubic phase are known for the rare earth oxides. High quality simple cubic RE₂O₃ buffer layers were grown epitaxiahy on {100}<001> textured Ni substrates using both reactive evaporation and sol-gel processing. Detailed X-ray studies have shown that the Y₂O₃, Eu₂O₃, Gd₂O₃, and Yb₂O₃ were grown with a single epitaxial orientation. SEM micrographs indicated that both e-beam and sol-gel grownmore » films were dense, continuous and crack free. High J_c YBCO films were grown on RE₂O₃-buffered Ni substrates with sputtered cap layers. Two new alternative buffer layer architectures were developed. A high J_c of 1.8 MA/cm² at 77 K and self-field was obtained on YBCO films with a layer sequence of YBCO (pulsed laser deposition)/Yb₂O₃ (sputtered)/Y₂O₃ (e-beam)/Ni. Also, a high J_c of over 1 MA/cm² at 77 K and self-field was obtained on YBCO films with a layer sequence of YBCO (ex-situ BaF₂ process)/CeO₂ (sputtered)YSZ sputtered)/RE₂O₃ (sol-gel or e-beam)Ni. The performance of sol-gel grown buffers approached the quality of e-beam grown buffers.}« less

Double-sided reel-to-reel metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-δ} thin films

Journal Article Zhang, Fei ; Xiong, Jie ; Liu, Xin ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Two-micrometer thick YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-δ} (YBCO) films have been successfully deposited on both sides of LaAlO{sub 3} single crystalline substrates by using a home-made reel-to-reel metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system, which has two opposite symmetrical shower heads and a special-designed heater. This technique can simultaneously fabricate double-sided films with high deposition rate up to 500 nm/min, and lead to doubling current carrying capability of YBCO, especially for coated conductors (CCs). X-ray diffraction analysis showed that YBCO films were well crystallized and highly epitaxial with the full width at half maximum values of 0.2° ∼ 0.3° for the rocking curves of (005)more »« less
