Chemical solution deposition using ink-jet printing for YBCO coated conductors
Highlighted on the June 2012 cover, this article featured in Supercond Sci Technol Highlights of 2012, builds directly on Glowacki’s pioneering work on superconductor ink-jet printing [Supercond Sci Technol 13(2000)584], by exploring the formation of single-layer and multifilamentary coatings for AC applications using sol-gel technology, achieving high Jc values. Parameters were defined to enable continuous YBCO coatings with lengths exceeding 100m by ink-jet printing on Ni–W substrates (by BASF, Michael Bäcker: baecker@d-nano.com). This international research was related to three EU-funded ink-jet projects and enabled establishment of the Transnational Energy Materials Printing Research Initiative (www.TEMPRI.eu).
