RESUMO

We reported a study of the structural and magnetic properties of BaZrO3 (BZO) as possible substrate material for the production of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) superconducting films. Rietveld analyses of the X-ray diffraction pattern show that BZO crystalizes as a cubic perovskite, space group Pm3m (#221). Chemical stability and crystallographic coupling between BZO and YBCO were examined by characterizing YBCO/BZO (10, 30 and 50 YBCO vol%) polycrystalline composites. Morphological and compositional analyses of composites were performed through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray experiments, respectively. Response of magnetization measurements revealed that the proximity of BZO does not affect the superconducting transition temperature (Tc=90,2 K) of YBCO material. Our results evidenced that the BZO is an excellent candidate to be substrate for the fabrication of YBCO superconducting thin films.
