YBa2Cu2Ox (YBCO) films have been deposited on buffered metal substrates by
metal organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD), Nickel alloy substrates wi
th biaxially-textured yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layers deposi
ted by ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) were used. A liquid-static precu
rsor delivery system was designed, constructed, and used in the MOCVD facil
ity at Intermagnetics for the reported work, At 77 K, under self-field cond
itions, we achieved a critical current (I-c) of 97.5 A In YBCO film grown b
y MOCVD on an IBAD substrate. This I-c corresponds to a critical current de
nsity of 1.3 MA/cm(2) and 130 A/cm width of tape.
