Inclined-substrate deposition of biaxially textured magnesium oxide thin films for YBCO coated conductors

Residual Stress Measurement in YBCO Thin Films

“…The PLD process was carried out with a Lambda Physik COMPex 201 Excimer laser having a Kr-F 2 gas mixture as the laser medium [10]. The substrates were placed on a rotating inclined sample holder.…”

“…Four PLD specimens were prepared for each substrate. The details of the deposition process are described in Reference [10].…”

Inclined Substrate Deposition of Magnesium Oxide for YBCO‐Coated Conductors

“…Research efforts in the past few years have accelerated the processing, fabrication, and manufacturing of high-temperature coated conductors to meet the needs of the U.S. electric power industry [1][2][3]7]. Several techniques, including ion-beamassisted deposition (IBAD) [8][9][10], rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) [11,12], and inclined-substrate deposition (ISD) [13][14][15], were developed. Compared to the first two processes, ISD produces textured films at high deposition rates (20-100 Å/sec) and is independent of the recrystallization properties of the metallic substrates.…”

Inclined Substrate Pulsed Laser Deposition of YBCO Thin Films on Polycrystalline Ag Substrates

“…A promising material for future electric power applications is YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (YBCO)-coated conductors [1][2][3][4]. Recently, YBCO thin films grown on silver tapes have attracted much interest because of their high superconducting transition temperature (T c ) and high critical current density (J c ).…”
