摘要/Abstract

摘要： 预制纳米晶添加到金属有机沉积法(Metal Organic Deposition, MOD)制备的YBa₂Cu₃O_7-_δ(YBCO)超导薄膜中,可通过磁通钉扎作用有效地提高薄膜在磁场中的临界电流密度(J_c)。由于纳米晶的种类、初始尺寸和添加浓度对磁通钉扎效果具有显著影响,因此有必要系统对比研究不同纳米晶添加条件对YBCO薄膜生长质量与超导性能的影响。本研究制备了初始尺寸为6 nm和12 nm的BaHfO₃(BHO)与BaZrO₃(BZO)纳米晶,以5%和10%的摩尔百分比浓度添加至2.4 μm厚度的YBCO薄膜中,并对纳米晶添加后薄膜的生长质量与超导性能进行表征。结果表明,在77 K自场条件下,5%浓度纳米晶添加的薄膜临界电流(I_c)均超过600 A(12 mm宽度)。当外加磁场强度超过1 T时,在4.2、50和77 K三个温区内,10%浓度6 nm BHO纳米晶添加的薄膜在场性能最为优异, J_c达到14.28 MA/cm²(4.2 K, 3 T)。对比发现,在提升YBCO薄膜在场性能方面,10%浓度的纳米晶添加优于5%浓度的同类纳米晶。初始尺寸对BHO纳米晶的磁通钉扎效果影响较BZO纳米晶更为显著。本研究为优化MOD-YBCO薄膜中纳米晶添加方案、提高薄膜在场性能提供了实验依据。

Abstract: Preformed nanocrystals incorporated into YBa₂Cu₃O_7-_δ (YBCO) superconducting thin films prepared by Metal Organic Deposition (MOD) method can effectively enhance the critical current density (J_c) under magnetic fields via flux pinning. The type, initial size, and incorporating concentration of the nanocrystals have significant effects on the flux pinning performance. Therefore, a systematic comparative study on the influence of different nanocrystal incorporation conditions on the growth quality and superconducting properties of YBCO films is required. In this study, BaHfO₃ (BHO) and BaZrO₃ (BZO) nanocrystals with initial sizes of 6 nm and 12 nm were prepared and incorporated into YBCO films with a thickness of 2.4 μm at molar concentrations of 5% and 10%. The growth quality and superconducting properties of the films after nanocrystal incorporation were systematically characterized. The experimental results showed that under 77 K self-field conditions, the critical current (I_c) of the films with 5% nanocrystal incorporation exceeded 600 A (12 mm width). When the applied magnetic field exceeds 1 T, the film with 10% 6 nm BHO nanocrystals exhibited the best in-field property across the temperature range of 4.2, 50, and 77 K, with the J_c reaching 14.28 MA/cm² (4.2 K, 3 T). Comparative analysis indicates that, in enhancing the in-field property of YBCO thin films, the incorporation of nanocrystals at 10% concentration is more effective than that at 5% for the same type of nanocrystals, and the initial size has a more pronounced effect on the flux pinning performance of BHO nanocrystals than that of BZO nanocrystals. This study provides experimental evidence for optimizing nanocrystal incorporation strategies to improve the in-field property of MOD-YBCO films.
