Trifluoroacetate metal organic deposition derived (Y0.77Gd0.23)Ba2Cu3O y films on CeO2 buffered R-plane Al2O3 substrates
2018
(Y0.77Gd0.23)Ba2Cu3O y [(Y,Gd)BCO] films were grown on CeO2 buffered R-plane sapphire (R-Al2O3) substrates using trifluoroacetate metal organic deposition (TFA-MOD). Annealing of the CeO2 buffered R-Al2O3 substrates was performed to control the crystallinity and surface morphology of the CeO2 buffer layer. The annealing treatment led to a significant improvement in the crystallinity and surface morphology of the CeO2 buffer layer. A (Y,Gd)BCO film grown on the CeO2 buffer layer with high crystallinity and an atomically flat surface exhibited high self-field (at 77 K) and in-field (at 20 K, 9 T, μ0 H∥c) critical current densities (J c). Annealing of the CeO2 buffer layer thus enabled enhancement of not only the self-field J c for the (Y,Gd)BCO film but also the in-field J c.
