Abstract

Ion-assisted, ion-beam sputter deposition is used to obtain (00l) biaxially oriented films of cubic yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ) on polycrystalline metal substrates. Yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) is then heteroepitaxially-pulse-laser deposited onto the YSZ. Phi scans of the films show the full-width-half maxima of the YSZ (202) and the YBCO (103) reflections to be 14° and 10° respectively. Our best dc transport critical current density measurement for the YBCO is 800,000 A/cm2 at 75K and 0T. At 75K, the total dc transport current in a 1 cm wide YBCO film is 23 A.
