In the present work,a distinct nucleation mechanism was proposed based on a transient liquid phase induced by the size effect as well as near-equilibrium assumption. With this scheme the nucleation of YBCO prepared by metal–organic deposition（MOD） or the physical vapor deposition BaF2 process was semi-quantitatively analyzed, revealing that the direct driving force for nucleation is YBCO supersaturation in the liquid phase. The theoretical analysis on the nucleation orientation portion is evidenced by the experimental result.展开更多

STM and SEM with an EDS and ECP attachments. The YBCO thin film was found to be a caxis orientated single crystal. At 800℃, the surface out-growths of the thin film Were mainly CuO particles and many small holes were found on the surface. which resulted in rougher surface; whereas, at 750℃, the out-growths were mainly the 123 structure in the form of rod-like and polygon and the surface was much smoother because of less small holes on the surface. The mechanism of the thin film growth and the formation of the small holes on the surface grown at the two temperature were discussed.展开更多

The orientation relationship of the multilayer film superconductor has been determined. The(001) plane of the YBCO film is parallel to the(100) surface of the YSZ intermediate layer. YSZ buffer layer with(100) preferred orientation is about 20 nm thick and contains element Ba, due to out-diffusion of Ba from YBCO layer. The(100) preferred orientation of YSZ buffer permits the growth of high quality YBCO thin film. Y2BaCuO5 precipitates with small size distribute uniformly in the YBCO thin film and it is favourable to raise critical current density Jc.展开更多
