YBa2Cu3O7-x （YBCO） films with embedded BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles were fabricated by metalorganic deposition using trifluoroacetates （TFA-MOD）. Both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that these BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles had random orientations and were distributed stochastically in the YBCO matrix. The unique combined microstructure enhances the critical current density （Jc） of the BaZrO3/BaTiO3 doped-YBCO films, while keeping the critical transition temperature （Tc） close to that in the pure YBCO films. These results indicate that BaZrO3 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles provide strong flux pinning in YBCO films.
YBa2Cu3O7-x（YBCO） films with co-doping BaTiO3（BTO） and Y2O3 nanostructures were prepared by metal organic deposition using trifluoroacetates（TFA-MOD）. The properties of the BTO/Y2O3co-doped YBCO films with different excess yttrium have been systematically studied by x-ray diffraction（XRD）, Raman spectra, and scanning electron microscope（SEM）. The optimized content of yttrium excess in the BTO/Y2O3co-doped YBCO films is 10 mol.%, and the critical current density is as high as - 17 mA/cm^2（self-field, 65 K） by the magnetic signal. In addition, the Y2Cu2O5 was formed when the content of yttrium excess increases to 24 mol.%, which may result in the deterioration of the superconducting properties and the microstructure. The unique combination of the different types of nanostructures of BTO and Y2O3 in the doped YBCO films, compared with the pure YBCO films and BTO doped YBCO films, enhances the critical current density（JC） not only at the self-magnetic field, but also in the applied magnetic field.
YBaCuO(YBCO) films with co-doping of Ba Ti O(BTO) and YOnanostructures were successfully fabricated on La Al O(LAO) substrate by metal organic deposition using trifluoroacetates(TFA-MOD). The focus of this study was to optimize the process conditions during the firing heat treatment of high critical current density(J C)-co-doped YBCO films. The effect of the firing temperatures on both the surface morphology and the superconducting properties for the doped YBCO films was systematically studied. According to the X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) results,the films prepared at 820 and 850 °C show poor electrical performance due to impurity phases and large pores. In contrast, the dense YBCO films prepared at 830 and840 °C with the critical current densities of 10 MA-cm(77 K, 0 T) are obtained.
