A new transient liquid assisted growth method is explored through the growth of YBa$Cu'O) - BaZrO' and YBa$Cu'O) thin films. The characterization of spin-coating deposed thin films verified c-axis epitaxy, although the presence of secondary phases within the film were also confirmed. BazrO' nanoparticles proved to be useful to enhance density superconducting properties at high fields, furthermore a 1.77 MA cm-2 current density was achieved for YBa$Cu'O) - BaZrO' films at 5 K, whereas for lesser fields YBa$Cu'O) current density was up to 19.94 MA cm-2 also at 5 K. Critical temperatures of (89.2 ± 0.6)K and (90.6 ± 0.4) K were obtained for the films, respectively. First steps towards a new combinational chemistry approach for the inkjet printed samples were also performed5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Alcalde, 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Pel·lícules finesSuperconductorsTreballs de fi de grauThin filmsSuperconductorsBachelor's thesesGrowth and characterization of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-d -BaZrO3 thin filmsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
