Abstract

A study regarding the epitaxial growth of single $Y_2O_3$ buffer layer on biaxially textured Ni and NiW substrates using pulsed laser deposition is presented. Different deposition conditions were employed and compared in order to obtain good epitaxial $Y_2O_3$ film, furthermore importantly, to obtain good YBCO superconducting films. Following YBCO film deposited by PLD on the top of $Y_2O_3$ films have a good structure and superconducting properties. The J$_{c}$ of YBCO films on $Y_2O_3$ /Ni and $Y_2O_3$ /NiW were $1.0{\times}10^6 A/cm^2 and 1.1\times}10^6 A/cm^2$<.TEX> at 77K and self-field respectively, which indicated that $Y_2O_3$ is a suitable candidate as a single buffer layer for the fabrication of YBCO coated conductor.r.
