YBCO coated conductor applications - a texture problem

  • 1. Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Inst. fuer Technische Physik, Karlsruhe (Germany)

Description

YBa2Cu3O7-δ (''YBCO'') is a high-temperature ceramic superconductor. Due to its complex layered structure, a strong biaxial texture of the YBCO grains is necessary to achieve technically relevant currents. In this paper, we describe the development of flexible metallic tapes with strong cube texture, providing a lattice-matched template for buffer and YBCO coatings in proper orientation. Texture analysis was performed using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). (orig.)
