In this paper we study the feasibility of Fe(Se, Te) coated conductors on a simple rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrate (RABiTS) template. Starting from commercially available Ni-5 at% W tapes which show an out-of-plane orientation of about 7 degrees and an in-plane orientation around 5 degrees, we realized a RABiTS template for Fe(Se,...

In this paper the roles of texturing and thickness of different buffer layers employed in the fabrication of Fe(Se,Te) coated conductors are studied. Fe(Se,Te) thin films were deposited either on rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates substrates with highly textured CeO2 buffer layer and on HASTELLOY® C276 substrates with a randomly...

Among other Fe-based superconductors, Fe(Se,Te) is particularly interesting because of the low structural anisotropy, large upper critical fields, low field dependence of the critical current density and low toxicity. It can also be grown as an epitaxial film on a metallic oriented substrate, making the fabrication of a Fe-based coated...

Ion irradiation of superconductors allows both the establishment of their radiation hardness and the modification and optimization of their properties useful for applications. In this work, we investigate the effects of proton irradiation with different energies on Fe(Se,Te) thin films grown on CaF_2 and on buffered YSZ substrates. These...
