Nano- to microscale structural and compositional heterogeneity of artificial pinning centers in pulsed-laser-deposited YBa2Cu3O7−y thin films

The structure, composition, and spatial distribution heterogeneity of artificial pinning centers affect the critical current density of REBa2Cu3O7−y (RE: rare earth) coated conductors. Nanoscale structures and compositions have been analyzed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning t...

description The structure, composition, and spatial distribution heterogeneity of artificial pinning centers affect the critical current density of REBa2Cu3O7−y (RE: rare earth) coated conductors. Nanoscale structures and compositions have been analyzed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). However, microscale heterogeneity has been difficult to characterize. Here, YBa2Cu3O7−y thin films doped with double-perovskite Ba2YbNbO6 were prepared via pulsed-laser deposition and characterized with TEM, STEM, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cross-sectional and plan-view TEM/STEM imaging revealed hybrid pinning structures consisting of nanorods, nanoparticles, and planar defects that were formed spontaneously. Nanorods were imaged with high spatial resolution via field-emission SEM of thin-foil specimens. Focused-ion-beam (FIB) micro-sectioning enables SEM imaging of microscale heterogeneity in nanorod spatial distributions. By using TEM/STEM in conjunction with FIB-SEM, the coated conductor inhomogeneity was directly evaluated from the nano- to micrometer scales.
