Abstract
Single buffer layer of LaMnO3 (LMO) has been epitaxially grown on biaxially textured Ni and Ni-alloy substrates by sputter deposition. The property characterizations revealed that LMO buffers can serve both as a chemical as well as a structural buffer for YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films. Epitaxial YBCO films grown on LMO buffers using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have self-field critical current densities (Jc) exceeding 1 × 106 A/cm2 at 77 K. The present results have demonstrated the strong prospect of LMO for the practical development of YBCO coated conductors.
