Properties of biaxially oriented Y2O3 based buffer layers deposited on cube textured non-magnetic Ni-V substrates for YBCO coated conductors

Flexible strategy of epitaxial oxide thin films

“…Different epitaxial buffer layers have been achieved, typical materials include Y 2 O 3 -stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) ( List et al., 1998 ; Ma et al., 2002 ; Jeong et al., 1998 ), CeO 2 ( Ma et al., 2002 ; Goyal et al., 1996a , 1996b ), Y 2 O 3 ( Shi et al., 2005 ; Fabbri et al., 2000 ), MgO ( Matiasa and Hammond, 2012 ), multilayers ( Tomov et al., 2002 ; Xue et al., 2016 ; Xiong et al., 2010 ), etc. For example, Xiong et al.…”

9 Developments in high temperature superconductivity

“…Fabbri et al 383 studied the epitaxial growth of Y 2 O 3 and CeO 2 by electron beam evaporation (EBE) and PLD onto short lengths of biaxially-textured, non-magnetic Ni-V alloy. The orientation of the buffer layers yielded similar results for the two deposition methods, with an ω-scan FWHM of 7.5Њ.…”

Comparative studies on the growth conditions of CeO2and Y2O3buffer layers on NiW tapes

“…It was reported that the bottom layer could be replaced by Gd 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 , etc [3]. It is known that the Y 2 O 3 films show no cracks [5][6][7][8][9][10], but the detailed growth features of this film have not been reported. Furthermore, it was reported that no cracks were observed on the surfaces of YSZ films that were deposited using rf-sputtering on the CeO 2 lower lying films, which already have cracks [5].…”
