H. Kim et al., Fabrication of YBCO coated conductors using nickel tapes textured in single crystalline qualities, SUPERCOND S, 13(7), 2000, pp. 995-998
Ni tapes were textured by taking advantage of their secondary recrystalliza
tion. The 18 cm long tapes obtained had textures of single crystalline qual
ity with their [001] axes tilted with respect to the surface and their [010
] axes parallel to the rolling direction. YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2 films grown on
the Ni tape had the same crystalline orientations. Magnetic held dependent
I-V relations were measured on a 5 cm section of the tape. J(c) defined by
1 mV criterion was 1.5 x 10(5) A cm(-2) at 77 K under zero field and was r
educed by similar to 50% under the applied magnetic field of 5 T.
