Abstract

We developed biaxially textured Gd2Zr2O7 (GZO) templates by ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) for YBa2Cu3O7−δ high temperature superconducting wires. Since “assisting” ions bombard the surface of a film concurrently during deposition, the growth mechanism becomes rather more complicated than the ordinary sputtering method with a single ion beam. Based on the result of investigations about a correlation between the conditions of ion beams and the properties of films, we successfully fabricated a 105 m long IBAD-GZO tape with full width at half maximum of 15 degrees in X-ray φ-scan measurement.
