Abstract:The preparation of La0.4Sr0.6TiO3 (LSTO) buffer layer and YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) superconducting thick film by a low cost technology was studied. The crystal orientation of LSTO and YBCO films was detected by X-ray diffraction, the conductivity of LSTO film and superconductivity of YBCO coating were investigated by standard four-probe method. Excellent in-plane alignment, smooth and dense LSTO buffer layer was successfully prepared on textured Ni-W taps by metal organic deposition (MOD). YBCO thick film was fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The effects of applied voltage and deposition time on the YBCO coatings properties were studied. The results show that the critical current density of the YBCO coating deposited under 138 V for 35 min was about 600 A/cm2 (0 T, 77 K).
Key words: conductive buffer layer; YBCO; superconducting thick film; electrophoretic deposition
