Epitaxial Growth of High-Jc NdBa2Cu3O7-δ Films on RABiTS by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Conference ·
OSTI ID:932000

NdBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} (NdBCO) films were grown on rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) via pulsed laser deposition. c-Axis-oriented epitaxial NdBCO films with high performance were obtained under optimal deposition conditions. Transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that the NdBCO film grown on RABiTS has a clear interface with a CeO{sub 2} cap layer and a nearly perfect lattice structure. The NdBCO film exhibits higher {Tc} of 93.7 K and better in-field J c in magnetic fields and at all field orientations, compared to pure YBCO films.
