Abstract:

To elevate the productivity of high critical current YBCO superconducting films by TFA-MOD processing, traditional trifluoroacetate (TFA) was replaced by acrylic acetate partially. Since the fluorine content in precursor solution was decreased, the ramping rate in decomposition process reached 300℃/h. Meanwhile the atmosphere was also adjusted to avoid the fatal effect of diethanolamine (DEA), and to increase thickness of YBCO film. By increasing the maximum of DEA addition to 0.75g/5mL, the thickness of film reaches 1μm. While some a-axis grains dispersed on the film surface are probably ascribed to the rise of thickness, the YBCO film has good interior microstructures overall. As a result, the highest critical current density is 3.5MA/cm2 and the critical temperature is 90K as well.

Key words: YBCO, TFA-MOD, acrylic acid, diethanolamine
