Abstract

Highly c-axis orientated YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x films were prepared on LaAlO₃ single crystal substrates via metal–organic deposition using trifluoroacetates using ethanol as solvent instead of the toxic methanol. The onset transition temperature is 91 K and the critical current density under self field is over 1 MA/cm² at 77 K, which indicates ethanol can be used as solvent for high-quality YBCO films using TFA–MOD.
