  • Process for the production of highly-textured, band-shaped, high-temperature superconductors
    Patent number: 7763569
    Abstract: A wet-chemical method for producing strip-shaped high-temperature superconductors with a substrate, optionally with a buffer layer and with a high-temperature superconductive layer is improved by increasing the texturing and the layer thickness of the high-temperature superconductive layer. To this end, precursor solutions are applied in layers to the substrate, of which the first is low in fluorine or does not contain fluorine, and the following have a fluorine concentration that increases with each layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 27, 2010
    Assignee: Zenergy Power GmbH

  • Process for the production of highly-textured, band-shaped, high-temperature superconductors
    Patent number: 7727579
    Abstract: The formation of band-shaped HTSL on a metal substrate is disclosed. The HTSL includes at least one buffer layer comprising zirconates and/or rare-earth oxides. The HTSL layer is formed on the buffer layer. The buffer layer has a texturing that in the case of a RHEED measurement results in discrete reflexes and not only in diffraction rings. In particular, the buffer layer may be textured along its interface with the HTSL layer.
