Abstract
High-TC superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O films were prepared on certain ceramic and metal substrates by pyrolysis of 2-ethylhexanoates. Only the films on MgO, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and Ag substrates exhibited the superconducting transition above liquid nitrogen temperature. Transition temperatures (TC) of 82, 85, and 82 K were observed in films of MgO, YSZ, and Ag substrates. The important factors in preparing superconducting films on substrates are the reactivity of the films and the substrates and the difference in their thermal expansions. The Y-Ba-Cu-O films were well suited for use with MgO, YSZ, and Ag substrates. Long superconducting tapes were produced on Ag substrate; flexible tape with a critical current density JC of 3 · 103 A/cm2 at 77 K has now been prepared.
