Abstract

Different layer architectures produced by only MOD, only MOCVD and combinations of MOD buffers and MOCVD YBCO are presented. RTR MOCVD-YBCO layers obtained on MOD-CeO₂/MOD-LZO/Ni5 at%W tapes demonstrate critical current densities up to 2 MA/cm² at 77 K. On single LZO (50-100 nm) buffered Ni5 at%W tapes from Nexans Superconductors and on RTR MOCVD buffer layers critical current densities between 0.8 and 1.3 MA/cm are obtained. RTR MOD-LZO layers often show delamination during YBCO deposition. Preannealing treatment before YBCO deposition allows to avoid this. Tapes up to 10 m are produced by combination of MOD-LZO and RTR MOCVD-YBCO.
