Highly oriented YBCO thin films deposited on cold rolling silver substrates and the study on recrystallization textures in silver

By selecting polycrystalline Ag as the substrates, highly c-axis(001) textured YBCO films have been fabricated by using a modified magnetron sputtering equipment. Research on the textures of cold rolling Ag at different deformation degree and recrystallization textures of cold-rolling Ag at different temperature shows that in-plane alignment of YBCO film is difficult to obtain directly on cold rolling Ag substrates because of a series of change of textures in Ag during heating. The sharp recrystallization textures with cube (001)[010] and rotated cube(001)[012] in Ag have been developed. Experiments offer a possible prospect for the further study of fabricating sharp biaxially texture in Ag and the following deposition of high J(c) YBCO films directly on it.
