All the YBCO films have Tc around 91 K and Jc excess 2 MA/cm^2 at 77 K in zero field. XRD θ-2θscans show all the films have c-axis normal orientation. The FWHM （full width at half-maximum intensity） values of X-ray ω-scans of （005） reflection are 0.379°, 0.283°, and 0.543° for the YBCO thin films deposited with precursor solution concentrations of 1.52, 1.0, and 0.75 mol/L, respectively. With the concentration of the precursors decreasing, the thickness of the films decreases linearly. SEM micrographs show that porosities in the films become bigger with the precursor solution concentration decreasing. The big porosities in the film with the lowest concentration precursor deteriorate the superconducting property and make it have a wider superconducting transition and a lower Jc.展开更多

A critical temperature(Tc) and a critical current density(Jc) of the YBCO film are 91 K and 2×103 A/cm2 at 77 K, 0 T respectively. Bonded steadfastly to the substrate of nickel alloy(HastelloyC), the dense, even and textured YSZ layer with fine crystal grains is about 12 μm thick. With an uneven thickness of about 500 nm, the YBCO layer is sometimes weakbonded to the YSZ layer. Impurities which occasionally led to cracks were observed at the YSZ/YBCO interface.展开更多

Relation of microstructure with deposition condition was also been discussed. The YSZ buffer layer with a low depositing rate is dense, even, textured and wellbonded to the substrate. On the contrary, the YSZ layer deposited with a high rate is loose and bonded badly to the substrate. Property and surface grain size of YBCO film are related to the substrate temperature (Ts) in the deposition process.展开更多

The textures of Ag substrates have important effects on forming YBCO films with high critical current densities. Research on the textures of cold rolling Ag at different deformation degrees and recrystallization textures of Ag at different temperatures shows that in plane alignment of YBCO films is difficult to be obtained directly on cold rolling Ag substrates, because of the texture change of Ag during deposition heating of substrates and the strong dependence of J c of YBCO films on grain boundary misorientation angle of substrates. The recrystallization textures with cube (001) and rotated cube (001) in Ag were obtained. Experiments offer a possible prospect for the further research of fabricating sharp biaxially texture in Ag and the following deposition of high J c YBCO films directly on it.展开更多

The orientation relationship of the multilayer films has been studied. The (001) plane of YBCO film is parallel to the (100) plane of Si substrate. The CeO 2 buffer layer consists of many small(40 nm×100 nm) column like crystal grains which have different orientations. Although the theoretical lattice mismatch between CeO 2 and Si is very small(about 0 4%), CeO 2 can not grow epitaxially on Si substrate yet. Because of habit growth, YBCO grows with c orientation preference on scattered oriented CeO 2. A thin amorphous layer between Si and CeO 2 has been observed. There exist several Y 2BaCuO 5(211 phase) grains in the interface of CeO 2 and YBCO. A 123 and 248 phase miscellany region and several Y 2O 3 inclusions have been observed.展开更多

The c -axis oriented TBCO thin film included a few Y_2 BaCuO_5 particles and spindle - like Y_2 O_3oxide. [001] edge and screw dislocations, stacking faults and other planar defects, lattice distorted regionsless than 15 nm and cation vacancies were found in the film. On the substrate surface the first layer filmatoms were CuO and CuO_2 layer so that the BaCuO_2 and YBaCu_2O_5 phases was formed at the interface.The step-like substrate surface, small pits on the surface and dislocations in the substrate surface layer obvi-ously effected on the epitaxial growth of the film and forniation of the defects in the film. The effect of thedefects on the J_c was discussed.展开更多

The transition temperature Tc is 90 K forYBCO/LAO and 104 K for TBCCO/LAO. Microwave responses of the films are studied systematically by coplanar resonator technique. Energy gaps of the films obtained are △0 = 1.04kBTc for YBCO films and △0 =0.84kBTc for TBCCO films by analysing the temperature dependence of resonant frequencies of coplanar resonator. Penetration depth at 0 K A0 = 198.nm for YBCO films and A0 = 200 nm for TBCCO films could also be obtained by using the weak coupling theory and two fluid theory. Results of penetration depth and energy gap confirm the weak coupling properties of the films. In addition, microwave surface resistances Rs of YBCO/LAO and TBCCO/LAO are also investigated by analysing the quality factor and insert loss of the coplanar resonator. Surface resistance of TBCCO/LAO is less than that of YBCO/LAO, so that TBCCO/LAO films may have more potential applications.展开更多
