Cuprate superconductors on titanium substrates

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The applicability of titanium as substrate material for coated conductors was investigated. Titanium metal was rolled to a thickness of 1 mm and mechanically polished. The titanium sheets were oxidized in air at 1000 °C for 1 h. A dense oxide layer was formed. YBCO superconducting layers were applied to the oxidized titanium surface via screen printing from a suspension in acetone-terpineol. The YBCO layers were characterized by X-ray diffraction and by scanning electron microscopy.
