Abstract

We have applied pulsed electron deposition (FED) to the growth of high-temperature superconductors on RABiTS (Rolling-Assisted Biaxial Textured Substrates) and on single-crystal substrates. Critical current densities of 2.37MA/cm2 on LAO and 1.62 MA/cm2 on RABiTS have been achieved. Results of transport measurements, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy are combined to understand the differences between FED and PLD growth, and to provide information about the steps required to obtain high-quality superconductors. Impurity phase are clearly observed in these PED films, and the causes of these impurities have been explored. Other issues concerning system stability for potential reel-to-reel application are also studied.
