    Notes: We have determined the stability line in the 1/T−log[P(O2)] phase space for the synthesis of Nd1+xBa2−xCu3Oy (NdBCO) films. A systematic study of Tc, Jc, and ρ(T) dependence on oxygen partial pressure and temperature for the deposition of thin NdBCO films grown by pulsed-laser deposition was performed. The conditions for optimal NdBCO film growth were determined by varying oxygen partial pressure from 0.02 to 400 mTorr, and substrate temperature between 730 and 800 °C. The results show that the best NdBCO films are obtained at oxygen pressures in the range of 0.2–1.2 mTorr, depending on the substrate temperature. This is more than two orders-of-magnitude lower than the correspondent oxygen pressure appropriate for YBa2Cu3O7−δ film growth. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Symmetric superlattice structures consisting of alternating atomic-scale layers of KTaO3 and KNbO3 with variable periodicity were grown on KTaO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The in-plane structure of KNbO3 closely matches that of the KTaO3 substrate, resulting in KTaO3/KNbO3 heterostructures that are uniformly strained in-plane without misfit dislocations. This strain imposes an in-plane KNbO3 lattice spacing identical to that of the KTaO3 substrate for the temperature range 30 °C〈T〈700 °C, and a tetragonal-to-tetragonal transition is observed whose phase transition temperature Tc depends on the KNbO3 layer thickness. The in-plane strain results in a significant increase in this ferroelectric-paraelectric Tc for superlattices with relatively thick KNbO3 layers (Tc=535 °C for a 17 nm thick layer, as compared to 435 °C for bulk KNbO3) and for K(Nb0.5Ta0.5)O3 random-alloy thin films. As the superlattice period decreases, a reduction of Tc is observed. For superlattices with periodicities of 50 Å or less, the Curie temperature is identical to that of the K(Ta0.5Nb0.5)O3 random-alloy film, indicating significant long-range ferroelectric coupling across the KTaO3 layers. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Computer simulations were performed to determine the most probable grain boundary misorientation distribution (GBMD) in model polycrystalline superconductors. GBMDs in polycrystalline superconductors can be expected to dictate the macroscopic transport critical current density, Jc. Calculations were performed by simulating model polycrystals and then determining the GBMD. Such distributions were calculated for random materials having cubic, tetragonal, and orthorhombic crystal symmetry. In addition, since most high temperature superconductors are tetragonal or pseudotetragonal, the effect of macroscopic uniaxial and biaxial grain orientation texture on the GBMD was determined for tetragonal materials. It is found that macroscopic texture drastically alters the grain boundary misorientation distribution. The fraction of low angle boundaries increases significantly with uniaxial and biaxial texture. The results of this study are important in correlating the macroscopic transport Jc with the measured grain orientation texture as determined by x-ray diffraction © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Recent microstructural studies of high-Jc, Tl-1223, spray-pyrolyzed thick films have shown that the high-Jc and reduced weak-link behavior can be ascribed to the presence of a unique microstructure, wherein the film is divided into "colonies'' of biaxially aligned regions. In an effort to understand the nucleation and growth of Tl-1223 as well as the formation of the colony microstructure, several sets of films quenched from various stages of the high-temperature thallination process were examined using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). It is found that the crystallization of the 1223 phase is associated with formation of a liquid phase which contains significant amounts of all oxides. Furthermore, it is found that the film nucleates at the substrate on the side closest to the thallium source. The growth front then moves up through the thickness and along the length of the film. X-ray microdiffraction measurements show that local biaxial alignment or the formation of colonies starts to occur at the onset of 1223 crystallization. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Grain orientations and grain boundary misorientations in high-Jc, powder-in-tube (PIT) (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (Bi-2223) were determined using electron backscatter Kikuchi diffraction and x-ray microdiffraction. Data collected from over 113 spatially correlated grains, resulting in 227 grain boundaries, show that over 40% of the boundaries are Σ1 or small angle (less than 15°). In addition, 8% of the boundaries are within the Brandon criterion for CSLs (sigma larger than 1 and less than 50). Grain boundary "texture maps'' derived from the electron microscope image and orientation data reveal the presence of percolative paths between low energy boundaries.

    Notes: YBa2Cu3O7−δ films grown on rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates carry critical current densities 105–106 A/cm2 at 77 K and low applied magnetic fields. In the low-field and low-current regime, ac transport current studies show hysteresis energy loss (per cycle and per unit length) roughly the value expected for a superconductor of elliptic cross section. The critical current Ic was deduced from observed dc and dynamic current-voltage relations. The power loss rises sharply as I0 (the maximum current in each cycle) is raised above Ic. In the present configuration, ferromagnetic hysteresis of the Ni substrate contributes little or no loss. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A method to obtain long lengths of flexible, biaxially oriented substrates with smooth, chemically compatible surfaces for epitaxial growth of high-temperature superconductors is reported. The technique uses well established, industrially scalable, thermomechanical processes to impart a strong biaxial texture to a base metal. This is followed by vapor deposition of epitaxial buffer layers (metal and/or ceramic) to yield chemically compatible surfaces. Epitaxial YBa2Cu3Ox films grown on such substrates have critical current densities exceeding 105 A/cm2 at 77 K in zero field and have field dependencies similar to epitaxial films on single crystal ceramic substrates. Deposited conductors made using this technique offer a potential route for the fabrication of long lengths of high-Jc wire capable of carrying high currents in high magnetic fields and at elevated temperatures. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The syntheses of Cu(PO3)2, Cu2P2O7, Cu4P2O9, Cu5P2O10, Cu3(PO4)2, and Cu2PO4 were accomplished by several new solid-state routes. Attempts to synthesize CuPO3 were unsuccessful, and it is suspected that this compound, which is reported in the literature, may not exist. The thermal stabilities of Cu(PO3)2, Cu2P2O7 and Cu3(PO4)2 were examined, and their decomposition was concluded to be strongly dependent on slow kinetics.

    Notes: Abstract Epitaxial film growth of Tl0.78Bi0.22Sr1.6Ba0.4Ca2Cu3O9 ((Tl,Bi)-1223) on rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates with YSZ and CeO2 buffer layers (RABiTS) has been successfully demonstrated by laser ablation and post-deposition annealing in flowing argon. X-ray diffraction (XRD) θ-2θ spectra showed that the films consisted mainly of c-axis aligned 1223 phase with some intergrown 1212 phase, while XRD Φ-scans of (102) pole figure revealed that the films are also a- and b-axes aligned, with an epitaxy of the «100» of (Tl,Bi)-1223 film on the «110» of the top YSZ buffer layer. Four-terminal electrical transport measurements showed that the zero-resistance transition temperature (Tc) was in the range of 106 - 110 K, and the critical current density (Jc) at 77 K and zero field was about 105 A/cm2 for the entire film width (3 mm) of a longer film (14 mm) which was processed differently from the shorter films (7 mm). For a shorter film (7 mm) that showed better ab-in-plane alignment, the magnetization Jc, at 77 K and extrapolated to zero field, calculated from Bean's model using the full film width (3.5 mm) as the appropriate lateral dimension, was 2 × 105 A/cm2.

    Notes: Abstract Progress in the fabrication of epitaxial, high-J c, biaxially aligned YBCO thick films on Rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTs) is reported. RABiT substrates comprise a biaxially textured metal substrate with epitaxial oxide buffer layers suitable for growth of superconductors. Oxide buffer layers have been deposited using three techniques: laser ablation, electron-beam evaporation, and sputtering. Epitaxial YBCO films grown using laser ablation on such substrates have critical current densities approaching 3 × 106 A/cm2 at 77 K in zero field and have field dependences similar to epitaxial films on single crystal ceramic substrates. Critical current densities in excess of 0.2 MA/cm2 have been obtained on stronger, nonmagnetic substrates. In addition, samples with J e of 12.5 kA/cm2 at 77 K have been fabricated. The highest strain tolerence obtained so far is 0.7% in compression and 0.25% in tension. Deposited conductors made using this technique offer a potential route for the fabrication of long lengths of high-J c wire capable of carrying high currents in high magnetic fields and at elevated temperatures.
