Abstract

Thin tapes of YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconductor have been tape cast by the doctor blade technique. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the (00l) planes of these tapes, to a modest degree, became preferentially aligned parallel to surface of the tape. This modest degree of preferential alignment resulted in a significant increase in measured critical current density.
