Fabrication of YBa2Cu3O7-δ Superconducting Film on NiW Alloy Using Electrophoretic Deposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work reported on exploring a low cost preparation technology for coated conductor. The epitaxial of La0.4Sr0.6TiO3 conductive buffer layer on NiW substrate was achieved by metal organic deposition. Excellent in-plane and out of plane alignment is confirmed via XRD. YBCO film was fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). We used buffered (LSTO) Ni-W substrate and Ni plate as cathode and anode respectively. The critical current density of YBCO coating is more than 1000A/cm2 (0T, 77K).
