Abstract
A superconductor article includes a substrate and a first buffer film disposed on the substrate. The first buffer film has a uniaxial crystal texture characterized (i) texture in a first crystallographic direction that extends out-of-plane of the first buffer film with no significant texture in a second direction that extends in-plane of the first buffer film, or (ii) texture in a first crystallographic direction that extends in-plane of the first buffer film with no significant texture in a second direction that extends out-of-plane of the first buffer film. A second buffer film is disposed on the first buffer film, the second buffer film having a biaxial crystal texture. A superconductor layer can be disposed on the second buffer film. Ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) can be used to deposit the second buffer film.
