Uj. Kim et al., Formation and physical properties of YBCO thick films grown by using the electrophoretic deposition method, J KOR PHYS, 35(2), 1999, pp. 72-75
Thick films of the YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) superconductor were prepared by u
sing the electrophoretic deposition technique and a flexible wire as the su
bstrate. The transition temperature of the wires was 91 K, the intragranula
r magnetic critical current density J(cg)(mag) was about 10(5) A/cm(2) at 7
7 K in a weak field, and the transport J(c)(trans) was about 365 A/cm(2) at
77 K. We calculated the intergranular magnetic critical current J(cJ)(mag)
and the activation energy from the AC-susceptibility measurements, and the
ir values were about 444 A/cm(2) at 77 K and 2.02 eV, respectively.
