Deposition of biaxially aligned YSZ films on inclined polycrystalline metallic substrates for YBa2Cu3O7−δ tapes

Growth of Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia Thin Films on Textured Silver Substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition

“…Ceram. Soc., 85 [7] 1897-99 (2002) Tokyo, Japan) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The grain size of YSZ phase was measured directly from the micrographs.…”

Mechanism of in-plane alignment in magnetron sputtered biaxially aligned yttria-stabilized zirconia

“…parallel to the substrate) are called biaxially aligned. Specific deposition techniques such as ion beam assisted deposition [1] and inclined substrate deposition [2,3] are needed to obtain such biaxially aligned films on a nonaligned polycrystalline or amorphous substrate. An unbalanced magnetron type II i.e.…”

One-Step Sol-Gel Growth of Textured Buffer Layers on Cold-Rolled Ni Substrates for Coated Conductor Fabrication

“…O VER the past several years significant progress has been made toward fabrication of high temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductors with high current carrying capacity, for use in electric power applications such as motors, generators, transformers, and current limiters [1]- [5]. It is well known that a biaxially textured (YBCO) film containing only low angle grain boundaries is necessary to obtain high transport critical current densities.…”

“…It is well known that a biaxially textured (YBCO) film containing only low angle grain boundaries is necessary to obtain high transport critical current densities. This has promoted extensive investigation and development of several processes, including the RABiTS (rolling assisted biaxially textured substrate) [1], [2], IBAD (ion-beam assisted deposition) [4], ISD (inclined substrate deposition) [5], and ISM (ion beam modification) processes [6], [7]. Among these, the RABiTS technique combined with a full solution method has a good potential for fabrication of buffer and superconducting layers at a low cost.…”
