Abstract

This report describes recent developments of second-generation Y ₁Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ (YBCO) coated conductors deposited on biaxially textured MgO templates. The materials system architecture implemented to achieve high critical currents in YBCO films is described. The average full-width at half maximum (FWHM) in-plane texture obtained for MgO films processed on meter-length tapes is 7°, while that for the YBCO films is 3°. The best YBCO in-plane values approach 2° and the out-of-plane values approach 1°. Critical currents (1 cm wide tapes, 75 K, self field) have attained 423 A for 7 cm length and 233 A for 50 cm length tapes.
