This article provides an overview of the fabrication of epitaxial, biaxially aligned buffer layers
on rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) as templates for YBCO films …

High critical current densities (Jc) in thick films of the Y1Ba2Cu3O7–δ (YBCO, Tc≈ 92 K)
superconductor directly depend upon the types of nanoscale defects and their densities …

We report for the first time that a regular array of sharp nano-textured conical microstructures
are formed on the titanium metal surface by irradiation with ultrafast laser pulses of 130 fs …

The large cross-sectional aspect ratio of YBCO coated conductors leads to a large
magnetization loss in an AC transverse magnetic field. In this work, the magnetization loss of …

The achievement of low cost deposition techniques for high critical current YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7
coated conductors is one of the major objectives to achieve a widespread use of …

One of the central themes in cuprate superconductivity is the evolution of the electronic
properties with the charge carrier concentration, p, expressed as the number of holes per Cu …

Over the past ten years the perception of grain boundaries in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ conductors
has changed greatly. They are now not a problem to be eliminated, but an inevitable and …
