Abstract

The Cu sheets were selected for the substrate of the superconductor films. Pure Cu sheets with the thickness of 50${\mu}$m were fabricated using hot and cold rolling. The Cu sheets were heat treated to induce the biaxial texturing. The z-axis and x-y plane texturing of Cu sheets heat treated at different conditions were analyzed using XRD and a best heat treatment condition for the texturing was selected. ZrO$_2$ film was dip coated on Cu sheets heat treated at the best condition to prevent possible reaction between Cu sheets and YBCO superconductors, to reduce possible cracking due to thermal expansion mismatch and to decrease the lattice mismatch for biaxial texturing. The texturing of the oxide buffer layers were also studied.
