on beam assisted deposition (IBAD) is an important technique to fabricate the second generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) wires. Among the fabrication routes of 2G HTS long wires, IBAD route achieved the best performance in recent years. IBAD was adopted in this field in 1991 to obtain biaxially textured buffer layers, which helped to deposit high quality YBCO superconducting films on metallic substrates for the first time. Series of experimental and industrial researches on IBAD were carried out by many groups worldwide. And in the researches lasting for over two decades, the focused material for IBAD was changed from Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ), Gd2Zr2O7 (GZO) to MgO. In this paper, the research progresses and the main achievements were briefly reviewed.

AbstractSuperconducting YBCO/YSZ/Hastelloy tapes or coated conductors were fabricated by combining ion beam assisted deposition (ILBAD) and magnetron sputtering techniques. The degree of biaxial alignment of the YSZ buffer layers and the epitaxial YBCO films was determined from x-ray pole figures and ø-scans. The best YSZ buffer layers had FWHFM δø= 7°- 10°. The corresponding YBCO tapes achieved a similar degree of biaxial alignment and high critical current density, Jc(77K,0T) = (0.9 – l.25)×106 A cm−2.

AbstractIon-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) offers the possibility to prepare thin textured films on amorphous or non-textured substrates. In particular, the textured nucleation of TiN is promising for the development of a conducting buffer layer architecture for YBCO coated conductors based on the IBAD approach. Accordingly, cube textured IBAD-TiN layers have been deposited reactively using pulsed laser deposition on Si/Si3N4 substrates as well as on polished Hastelloy tapes using different amorphous seed layers. Metallic buffer layers such as Au, Pt or Ir were grown epitaxially on top of the TiN layer showing texture values similar to the IBAD layer. Smooth layers were obtained using a double layer of Au/Pt or Au/Ir. Biaxially textured YBCO layers were achieved using SrRuO3 or Nb-doped SrTiO3 as a conductive oxide cap layer. Finally, different amorphous conducting seed layers were applied for the IBAD-TiN process. Highly textured TiN films were achieved on amorphous Ta0.75Ni0.25 layers showing a similar in-plane orientation of about 8° as on standard seed layers.
