摘要
Techniques are reported for sputter deposition of biaxially oriented buffer-layers on textured Ni tapes. These buffered tapes can be employed as long, flexible, or large area substrates for biaxially-aligned high-temperature superconductors (HTS) with high critical current density J(c). Using deposition techniques at temperatures as low as 25 degrees C, epitaxial Pd or Pt films were first deposited as a base layer on the textured Ni tapes, followed by deposition of biaxially oriented Ag or CeO2 buffer layers. Using Ar/4%H-2 sputter gas, biaxially oriented CeO2 films were also grown directly on the textured Ni tapes, followed by the epitaxial growth of YSZ films. All the films show both strong in-plane and out-of-plane orientations. The effects of Ni surface smoothness on buffer-layer texture were also investigated.
