T. Doi et al., Biaxially oriented NdBa2Cu3O7 films prepared on {100}(001) textured Ag tapes without any buffer layers, IEEE APPL S, 11(1), 2001, pp. 3130-3133
We successfully obtained biaxially oriented NdBa2Cu3O7 superconducting film
s with the Tc of 89K on {100}< 001 > textured Ag tapes without any buffer l
ayers. The lower substrate temperature seems to be favorable for the better
biaxial orientaton of the NdBa2Cu3O7 grains; the film deposited at 650 deg
reesC had an excellent biaxial crystal orientarion, while on the textured A
g tape heated at 720 degreesC, NdBa2Cu3O7 phase grew in two orientations, 4
5 degrees apart.
