Abstract
Increase of production rate and improvement of quality for RE123 coated conductors have been tried. In-plane texturing of MgO was attempted by the IBAD system with the world largest ion source. As a result of optimizing condition in large deposition area, the dramatically high throughput of 1000 m / h was realized to obtain the IBAD-MgO with Δϕ < 10°. Furthermore, simple buffer structure was demonstrated. Well textured CeO2 layer with Δϕ of around 4° was obtained by directly deposited on IBAD-MgO layer in spite of large lattice mismatch of 28% between CeO2 and MgO. Several over 100 m buffer substrates with the architecture of / PLD-CeO2 (60 m / h) / IBAD-MgO (333~1000 m / h) / Y2O3 (500 m / h) / Al2O3 (150 m / h) / Hastelloy / were already prepared. On these production substrates, GdBCO layer was deposited by the large PLD system at high throughput. The 260 m long GdBCO tape with Ic > 600 A except some locations was obtained at the throughput of 15 m / h. In addition to the speed-up, the very high Ic of 1040 A was also achieved by the hot-wall heating PLD system.
