E. Celik et al., Y2O3-ZrO2 insulation coatings on AgMg sheathed Bi-2212 superconducting tapes by the sol-gel process, IEEE APPL S, 10(1), 2000, pp. 1329-1332
Y2O3-ZrO2 coatings on AgMg/Bi-2212 superconducting tapes have been prepared
by the sol-gel route using Zr and Y based precursors. The coatings were an
nealed at 862 degrees C for 24 h under oxygen atmosphere. The structure of
coatings was characterized by SEM, EDS, DTA, TGA and XRD. Several precursor
materials and solutions were tried. Preparation conditions were defined fo
r optimum coating process.
