Abstract

Epitaxial YSZ film was deposited directly on biaxially-textured (001) Ni tapes using pulsed-laser deposition. Nucleation of the YSZ film on Ni is achieved without the intentional removal of the native oxide from the Ni (001) surface. The epitaxial YSZ layer grown on the Ni (001) surface was used as a single buffer layer for a high temperature superconducting coated conductor architecture, yielding YBa2Cu3O7 films with critical current density of 1 MA/cm2 at 77 K. This architecture eliminates the necessity for a multilayer buffer architecture, as high Jc superconducting films are achieved with no intermediate buffer layer between the (001) YSZ and the biaxially textured metal.
