Chemical vapor deposition of the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x phase using halides as metal sources

Abstract
It is shown for the first time that the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x phase can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition using the halide precursors YCl3, BaI2, and CuCl as metal sources and an O2/H2O gas mixture. Sintered calcium stabilized zirconia plates were used as substrates. The superconductor was obtained upon deposition without the need for post‐annealing. An ideal (001) texture was always found to prevail.
