Abstract

Implementation of improved processing for BaF₂₉ ex situ YBCO coatings from e-beam evaporated precursors enables faster conversion with rates up to 12 Å /s and critical currents I_c at 77 K greater than 350 A/cm-width on a RABiTS template. Details of the faster processing are described and compared to an earlier slower process. A linear relation between I _c and YBCO layer thickness provides evidence of new opportunities to further improve I_c.
