Abstract

Superconducting films of“1223”Tlx Ca2Ba2Cu3Oy (0.65<×<l.00) have been prepared on polycrystalline yttria stabilized zirconia substrates via the reaction of thallium oxide vapor with spray-deposited Ca-Ba-Cu-oxide films containing silver. The silver addition permits the formation at 860C of oriented, interconnected polycrystalline superconducting films with Tc(0) values of 104–107K. Samples have been prepared routinely with 77K zero-field dc transport critical current densities >10,000A/cm2 with values as high as 105,000A/cm2 having been measured. The range in Jc values measured is believed to be related, at least in part, to inhomogeneities in the films. The excellent in-field characteristics of the“1223”thick films are reflected in the behavior of the“105,000A/cm” sample for which J >10,000A/cm was measured at 60K in a 2 Tesla field applied parallel to the crystallographic c-axis
