Development of a Scalable Tl-1223 Tape Process — Thallination of Powder Precursor Coatings
Superconducting tapes, 10–20 cm long, of TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9 on Ag have been fabricated by deposition of a thallium-free powder precursor on Ag followed by reaction with a thallium oxide vapor species. Single-sided and...

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...

Effect of internal fission-fragment irradiation on critical currents and flux creep in Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu–O superconductors doped with UO2
Fission fragment damage was introduced into samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox and Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy, doped with various levels of UO2, by irradiation with thermal neutrons. The critical temperatures were unchanged. Co...

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...

Artificial in-plane ordering of textured YBa2Cu3O7−x films deposited on polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates
Anisotropie surface texturing of the polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates, prior to YBa2Cu3O7−x film deposition, is shown to promote in-plane (basal plane) ordering of the film growth in additio...

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...
