In this paper we study the feasibility of Fe(Se, Te) coated conductors on a simple rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate (RABiTS) template. Starting from commercially available Ni-5 at% W tapes which show an out-of-plane orientation of about 7° and an in-plane orientation around 5°, we realized a RABiTS template for Fe(Se, Te) coated conductor fabrication by depositing CeO2 thin films on the metallic tape. The oxide buffer layers, deposited via pulsed laser ablation, exhibit an out-of-plane and an in-plane orientation suitable for Fe(Se, Te) deposition and act as a chemical barrier against Ni diffusion. Fe(Se, Te) thin films deposited on such a simple template show a superconducting transition at 16 K and very high upper critical field values with a ΔT c,0 of only 3 K in 18 T. The transport critical current reaches values of 1.7 × 105 A cm-2 at 4.2 K in self-field and is reduced by less than one order of magnitude up to 18 T, remaining isotropic with respect to the magnetic field direction.

Abstract
In this paper we study the feasibility of Fe(Se, Te) coated conductors on a simple rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate (RABiTS) template. Starting from commercially available Ni-5 at% W tapes which show an out-of-plane orientation of about 7° and an in-plane orientation around 5°, we realized a RABiTS template for Fe(Se, Te) coated conductor fabrication by depositing CeO2 thin films on the metallic tape. The oxide buffer layers, deposited via pulsed laser ablation, exhibit an out-of-plane and an in-plane orientation suitable for Fe(Se, Te) deposition and act as a chemical barrier against Ni diffusion. Fe(Se, Te) thin films deposited on such a simple template show a superconducting transition at 16 K and very high upper critical field values with a ΔT c,0 of only 3 K in 18 T. The transport critical current reaches values of 1.7 × 105 A cm-2 at 4.2 K in self-field and is reduced by less than one order of magnitude up to 18 T, remaining isotropic with respect to the magnetic field direction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
