L. Ceresara et al., PULSED-LASER DEPOSITION OF YBCO THIN-FILMS ON METAL SUBSTRATES WITH YSZ BUFFER LAYER, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 19(8-9), 1997, pp. 1033-1039
We have deposited by pulsed laser ablation YBCO/YSZ bilayers on flexib
le Ni-based (Inco alloy C-276) substrates. As confirmed by X-ray diffr
action spectra, the YBCO film grows mainly along the c-axis direction.
However, a mosaic spread of 10 degrees, evaluated from the (005) YBCO
pole figure, and the results of a film texture analysis indicate that
more effort is required to obtain a complete c-axis orientation along
with in-plane alignment for the YBCO layer.
