NiO layers were prepared in Ar flow at temperatures between 750°C to 850°C by using surface oxidation epitaxial method on Ni –5%W alloy substrates. NiO (200) buffer layer with well textured, smooth, dense and crack-free surface was prepared in Ar ambience with a flow rate of 500 ml/min at 800°C for 10.0 min. Then SmBiO 3 buffer layer was coated on the well epitaxial NiO (200) layer by chemical solution deposition (CSD) method.

With energy shortage becoming increasingly severe, the application of high-temperature superconducting material is a considerable prospects, where economic, efficient and energy-saving preparation technology becoming the key factors for the large-scale applications of [Formula: see text] (REBCO) superconducting coated conductors. Currently, non-vacuum chemical solution deposition technique is an important way to reduce the cost of preparation of coated conductors. However, a randomly oriented NiO growth is an important problem for the non-vacuum chemical preparation of superconducting coated conductor. A simple and valid method is to prepare textured NiO film on the bare nickel (Ni) tape. In this paper, NiO films with [Formula: see text]-axis texture were prepared in air and in argon respectively by the surface oxidation epitaxial method. We obtained the smooth and densification NiO films. The layer of [Formula: see text] was fabricated on the NiO film via a fluorine-free chemistry method. The purpose of this paper is to provide a potential value of non-vacuum chemical solution deposition technique for preparation of REBCO superconducting coated conductors.

Epitaxial films of rare-earth (RE = La, Ce, Eu, and Gd) tantalates, RE3TaO7 with pyrochlore structures were grown on biaxially textured nickel-3 at.% tungsten (Ni-W) substrates using chemical solution deposition (CSD) process. Precursor solution of 0.3∼0.4 M concentration of total cations were spin coated on to short samples of Ni-W substrates and the films were crystallized at 1050∼1100 °C in a gas mixture of Ar- 4% H2 for 15 to 60 min. X-ray studies show that the films of pyrochlore RE tantalate films are highly textured with cube-on-cube epitaxy. Improved texture was observed in case of lanthanum tantalate (La3TaO7) film grown on Ni-W substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations of RE3TaO7 films reveal a fairly dense and smooth microstructure without cracks and porosity. The rare-earth tantalate layers may be potentially used as buffer layers for YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) coated conductors.
