Texture and transport in spray pyrolyzed TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9 thick films
The electron backscattering pattern technique has been applied to the microstructural investigation of Tl(1223) thick films formed by vapor-phase thallination of Ag-containing Ba–Ca–Cu–oxide precursors. For sa...

The microstructural evolution of a silver-containing spray deposited 1223 Tl–Ca–Ba–Cu oxide superconductor
This paper reports a study of the microstructural evolution of Ag-containing 1223 Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu oxide superconductors in spray-deposited films. The films were formed by spray depositing nitrates of Ca, Ba, Cu, a...

Dependence of critical current density on microstructure and processing of high-Tc superconductors
Microstructural origins for reduced weak-link behavior in high-Jc melt-processed YBCO, spray pyrolyzed thick films of Tl-1223, metallic precursor Y-124 polycrystalline powder-in-tube (PIT) wires and PIT Bi-2212/2...

Field Dependence of the Transport Critical Current in Polycrystalline TlBa2Ca2Cu3Oz Films
Large critical currents with a relatively weak magnetic field dependence are obtained in thick films of TlBa2Ca2Cu3Oz. Transport measurements indicate Jc > 105 A/cm2 at 77K, zero field, and Jc>104 at 60K in a 2T ...

The Synthesis of "1223" TL-CA-BA-CU-Oxide Superconducting Films Via the Reaction of Silver-Containing Spray Deposited Oxide Precursors with Thallium Oxide Vapor in a Two-Zone Reactor
Superconducting films of "1223" Tlx Ca2Ba2Cu3Oy (0.65<×<l.00) have been prepared on polycrystalline yttria stabilized zirconia substrates via the reaction of thallium oxide vapor with spray-deposited Ca-Ba-Cu-oxi...

Critical current and microstructure of uniaxially aligned, polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−δ
Three processing routes that generate uniaxial alignment but otherwise yield very different microstructure and critical current are compared. Fine grain size and c-axis alignment are obtained in magnetically a...
