Abstract
Y0.5Gd0.5Ba2Cu3O7-σ (YGBCO) and Ho0.5Gd0.5Ba2Cu3O7-σ (HGBCO) targets with similar densities were prepared by solid-phase reaction. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technology was used to fabricate superconducting films with these targets. During the experiments in this paper, we varied the laser energy by adjusting the optical lens. The structure and texture of RE0.5Gd0.5Ba2Cu3O7-σ (REGBCO, where RE = Y, Ho) thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface morphology was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the superconducting critical current was measured at 77 K using the standard four-probe method. The laser energy density and different doping elements can affect the properties of REGBCO films. This may be related to the ejection process of target particles and the size of rare earth atoms. Additionally, we prepared a 510-meter long second-generation high-temperature superconducting tape with the optimized parameters. The critical current of the tape is 350 A, and the current density is 3.9 × 106 A/cm2.
期刊介绍：
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
