YSZ buffer layers on technical substrates for HTSC current applications prepared by AAMOCVD

Chemical solution growth of CeO2buffer and YBCO layers on IBAD-YSZ/Hastelloy templates

“…This rough surface usually results in degradation of superconducting properties of subsequently deposited YBCO film. This phenomenon has also frequently been observed and reported even in the case of vacuum-deposited buffer layers [12,13], which seems to be a usual rule for obtaining good superconductivity of YBCO film on metal substrate.…”

Thermal Cycle Resistance of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Coatings Prepared by MO-CVD

“…6,7) The deposition rates of YSZ films by CVD have generally been several mm h À1 , too low for their application as TBCs. 8,9) Recently, several groups have reported high deposition rates of YSZ films of more than 50 mm h À1 by using MO-CVD, [10][11][12] and we have prepared YSZ films with deposition rates up to 108 mm h. 13) Therefore, the CVD process may be applicable to TBCs.…”

Theoretical investigations of the g factors and the local structure for the trigonal Zr3+ center in X-ray irradiated YSZ

“…Recently, investigations have been reported on YSZ as electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) [1][2][3][4], high-T c superconductor thin film substrates [5][6][7], as well as the properties of optical absorption and upconversion luminescence [8][9][10], large room temperature magnetoresistance in YSZ doped La 0.67 Ba 0.33 MnO 3 composite [11]. Particularly, studies on the paramagnetic defects in YSZ due to X-ray irradiation have been carried out by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption techniques [12][13][14][15][16].…”
