La2Zr2O7 single buffer layer for YBCO RABiTS coated Conductors

Chemical deposition methods like MOD and MOCVD are promising approaches for coated conductors (CCs) due to their reduced cost and easy scaling. High quality La2Zr2O7 (LZO) buffer layers were prepared by MOD on Ni-5%at.W (NiW) RABiTS and subsequent YBCO layers (450 to 800 nm thick) were deposited by pulsed injection MOCVD, leading to a simple low cost architecture NiWRABiTS/LZOMOD/YBCOMOCVD. In ...

Interdiffusion studies on high - T , superconducting YBa , Cu , O , _ , thin films on Si ( 111 ) with a NiSi , / ZrO , buffer layer

Interdiffusion studies on high-T, superconducting YBasCu,O,_s thin films with thicknes~s in the range of 2000-3000 A, on a Si(ll1) substrate with a buffer layer have been performed. The buffer layer consists of a 400 A thick epitaxial Nisi, layer, covered with 1200 A of polycrystalline 210,. YBa,Cu,O,_s films were prepared using laser ablation. The YBa,Cu,O,_, films on the Si/NiSi,/ZrOs substra...

The superconducting transition width and illumination wavelength dependence of the response of MgO substrate YBCO transition edge bolometers

Dependence of the phase and magnitude of the response of MgO substrate YBa2Cu3O7 d (YBCO) transition edge bolometers to the near infrared radiation on the superconducting transition width is presented in this work. The bolometers were made of YBCO thin films of 200 nm thickness that were grown on single crystal MgO (100) substrates by DC inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. We have measur...

Electronic Raman scattering in YBCO and other superconducting cuprates

Superconductivity induced structures in the electronic Raman spectra of high-Tc superconductors are computed using the results of ab initio LDA-LMTO three-dimensional band structure calculations via numerical integrations of the mass fluctuations, either in the whole 3D Brillouin zone or limiting the integrations to the Fermi surface. The results of both calculations are rather similar, the Bri...
