Abstract
CeO2 was deposited on silver substrates by the chemical solution deposition method. Silver was dipped into a 0.05 M Ce(NO3)3 solution, dried in air and then annealed in air at 900 °C for 30 minutes. The CeO2 buffer layer was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. YBCO was deposited onto the buffered substrate via screen printing. The YBCO films where sintered at temperatures of 880 °C and 890 °C. Dense and crack free YBCO layers were obtained with transition temperatures (Tc0) up to 83 K. Characterization of the superconducting film was performed by X-ray diffraction and SEM.
