High critical current density (high-Jc) YBa2Cu3O7–δ (YBCO) films were obtained by pulsed laser ablation on biaxially textured Cu substrates. To achieve epitaxy of LaMnO3 (LMO) on Cu, thin epitaxial Ni overlayers were deposited on Cu tapes. The structure comprises the layer sequence of YBCO/LMO/Ni/Cu. For 200-nm-thick YBCO, self-field Jc values exceeding 1 × 106 A/cm2 at 77 K were achieved. Characterization of these short prototype conductors revealed good structural and morphological properties. Magnetic analysis suggested that hysteretic loss due to the ferromagnetic Ni overlayer is minimal.

ABSTRACTConventional Nb-Ti superconductors are optimized by thermal and mechanical treatments which ultimately produce a nanostructure consisting of 1-2nm thick ribbons of α-Ti dispersed in a matrix of β-Nb-Ti. Several groups are now investigating artificial dispersions of second phase in Nb-Ti which may develop stronger flux pinning nanostructures. However, these new methods generally require true strains of 30 or more. We avoid these large strains (and their associated problems) by forming our composites from a mixture ∼ -50¼m size Nb and Nb-Ti powders, thus permitting the desired nanostructure to be produced with strains of order 12. Nb pinning particles were found to develop an irregular shape, tending to nanometer thick ribbons at large strains. The final size nanostructure resembles conventional Nb-Ti, except that the “second” phase is Nb rather than α-Ti. The critical current density (Jc) was found to increase by over two orders of magnitude to peak values of 5490 and 1980A/mm2 at 2 and 5T as the particle thickness was reduced.

Ultrathin artificial high temperature superconducting structures were grown by pulsed laser deposition stacking in sequence epitaxial layers of ( Ba 0.9 Nd 0.1) CuO 2+x and CaCuO2. Critical temperature Tc and critical current density Jc for such nano-engineered structures consisting of a single (CaCuO2) block sandwiched between two ( Ba 0.9 Nd 0.1) CuO 2+x charge reservoir blocks were measured inductively. The onset of superconducting transition is higher than 50 K. The purely intralayer critical current density was measured at 4.2 K and resulted to be larger than 108 A/cm2.
