Abstract

The formation of epitaxial (La, Sr)TiO₃ on biaxially-textured Ni-W metal alloy tape was examined as a conductive buffer layer for YBa₂Cu₃O₇ film growth. A TiN epitaxial nucleation layer served as an effective template layer for subsequent (La, Sr)TiO₃ film growth on the Ni-W tape. The TiN/(La, Sr)TiO₃ multilayer was epitaxial on the Ni-W substrate as confirmed via four-circle X-ray diffraction. A high temperature superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O₇ film was deposited epitaxially on the (La, Sr)TiO₃/TiN/Ni-W tape. The YBa₂Cu₃O₇ film exhibited a superconducting transition temperature of 86 K and critical current density of 0.42 × 10⁶ A/cm² at 77 K.
