Jp. Traverse et al., YBA2CU3O7-X AG COATINGS ON ROUGHENED CU PREPARED BY SEDIMENTATION ANDOXIDIZING SINTERING, Superconductor science and technology, 7(6), 1994, pp. 353-358
An original method for the preparation of thick coatings on refractory
steel is extended to Cu substrates. Adherent coatings are obtained on
a thick buffer layer of Cu2O grown during sintering in an O2 atmosphe
re. Composite YBa2Cu3O7-x/Ag coatings are shown to be sufficiently fle
xible during sintering and cooling to maintain convenient electrical p
roperties.
