(abstract)

A bottom-up approach was employed to achieve multifilamentation aimed at reducing the alternating current (AC) losses of REBa₂Cu₃O7-δ coated conductors. Nb stripes were fabricated on SrTiO₃ substrates, followed by the deposition of YBa₂Cu₃O₇-δ (YBCO) thin films via the metal-organic deposition method. The films were subse quently evaluated and analyzed. Surface observations using scanning electron microscopy revealed a linear dark contrast on the stripes, distinct from the YBCO matrix. Furthermore, selected area electron diffraction patterns and scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses confirmed the presence of multiple Y–Cu–O and Cu–O particles in the YBCO phase on a ~4 μm-wide Nb stripe. In addition, the formation of voids and Ba5Nb4O15 was observed in the ~4 μm Nb stripe. On a wider Nb stripe (~13 μm), only Y–Cu–O and Cu–O phases and cracks were observed, along with relatively large voids and the formation of Ba5Nb4O15. This study provides a fundamental understanding of multifilamented YBCO thin films and offers important insights into reducing AC losses.
