"Progresses in the development of the TFA-MOD process for the coated conductors in Japan are reviewed. In the fundamental approaches, some important advantages of Ba-poor starting solution were found such as for obtaining higher Jc, shorter reaction time and wider process temperature window," investigators in Tokyo, Japan report.
"The high Ic value of 735 A/cm-w@77 K was attained. Additionally, introduction of artificial pinning centers by Sm-substitution and Zr-addition to the Ba-poor films was successfully investigated. The films showed a high minimum Ic value of 42 A/cm-w at 77 K, 1 T. Furthermore, isotropic Ic properties in the angular dependence of applied ...
