Abstract

A consistent route to coated conductor fabrication requires continuous reel to reel deposition of oriented buffer layers and the RBCO - superconductor. Evaporation is one of the most promising techniques for economic, industrial scale production of second generation HTS wire. Highly oriented MgO - buffer layers can be realized by inclined substrate deposition (ISD), enabling nearly single crystalline alignment of the superconductor film. Up to 30 m long MgO buffered Hastelloy tape and up to 12 m long HTS coated conductor have been fabricated.
