Abstract

A single layer of La ₂Zr ₂O ₇ (LZO), deposited on textured Ni and Ni-3%W (Ni-W) tapes by a low-cost sol-gel process, is used as a buffer layer for the growth of YBa ₂Cu ₃O _7-δ (YBCO) coated conductors. It is shown for the first time that such single buffer layers can be used for the deposition of YBCO yielding critical current densities (J _c) that are comparable to those typically obtained using CeO ₂/YSZ/Y ₂O ₃ tri-layers on identical substrates, i.e. in excess of 1 MA/cm ² on nickel substrates and close to 2 MA/cm ² on Ni-W substrates (which has a sharper texture) at 77K and self-field. Reel-to-reel deposition of LZO buffer layers in long lengths and their use in fabrication of coated conductors in long lengths has also been demonstrated. These results offer promise to the fabrication of low cost allsolution coated conductors.
