Abstract

Chemical solution-deposited (CSD) is a cost-effective non-vacuum method for YBCO coated conductor fabrication. We developed a new fluorine-free metal-organic deposition (MOD) method with metal acetates, propionic acid and xylene as the starting materials. Using this non-fluorine MOD method, we were able to get high performance YBCO superconducting films within a shortened heat treatment time, which was reduced by at Least 5 h in comparison with that for pyrolysis-annealing non-fluorine MOD process. Superconducting property, with a critial current density (Jc) over 0.55MA/cm2at 77K, self-field has been obtained for 380 nm epitaxial YBCO thin films on (00l) LaAlO3(LAO) single crystal substrate. Owing to the low price of starting materials and shorter heat treatment time, fluorine-free MOD method is a very effective and cost-cutting process.
