The Influence of Surface Morphology of Buffer Layer on the Critical Current Density in YBCO Coated Conductors

1 μm-thick YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films were grown on the Y2O3/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/CeO2 buffer layers with different surface morphologies using direct-current sputtering. The critical current density (Jc) value of YBCO was 1.1 MA/cm2 when the root mean square surface roughness (Rrms) of the...
