Abstract

YBa₂Cu₄O₈ films were fabricated at atmospheric pressure by the sol–gel method using metal alkoxides. Gel films on Ag substrates, prepared from a heterometallic alkoxide solution, were fired at 800 °C for 10 h to yield highly oriented YBa₂Cu₄O₈ films. Simultaneously using both the sol–gel method and Ag as a substrate was found to be remarkably effective for promoting the formation of the YBa₂Cu₄O₈ phase and producing highly oriented films.
