Abstract

The formation of Y2O3 secondary phase in the films of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) high-temperature
superconductor is of large interest because Y2O3 inclusions can increase the critical current
density (Jc) in YBCO films. We studied Y-rich and Y-poor YBCO films prepared by the MOCVD
method. Y2O3 phase appeared in the Y-rich films as small (20x10 nm) oriented particles distributed
throughout the YBCO films. It was found that at the same growth conditions Y-rich YBCO films grew
highly c-oriented, whereas in the Y-poor films both a- and c-oriented YBCO grains were present. The
Y-rich films exhibited better superconducting properties (Jc) because of better YBCO texture and
magnetic flux pinning on the Y2O3 inclusions
