Abstract
In view of high rate fabrication of coated conductors at low-cost, YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) films on Ce0.9La0.1O2-y buffered yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates were deposited by means of a novel low-fluorine metal-organic solution route. A high critical current density of 3 MA cm(-2) (77 K, self field) was achieved on such an all-chemical derived configuration. Structural characterization showed that the enhanced superconductivity performance of the YBCO films is mainly related to the defects induced by the interface.
