Abstract

Ion-beam assisted deposition was used to fabricate biaxially aligned cubic zirconia on flexible metal substrates. These films were used as templates for heteroepitaxially deposited YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films. The quality of the crystalline texture of the template films has a direct influence on the superconducting properties of the final YBCO films. We describe our efforts to fabricate high-quality cubic zirconia templates on short-length substrates processed in stationary mode and meter-long substrates processed in continuous mode. Our best phi scan FWHM values for the films on the meter-long tapes were 12.6 degrees for the template and 6.1 degrees for the overcoated YBCO. This meter-long tape had a self-field, 75 K, superconducting critical current of 122 amps.
