Thermodynamics analysis on BaF2 intermediate phase in solution-derived YBCO superconducting film deposition
Abstract
In the YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) high temperature superconducting thin film fabrication via the chemical solution deposition method, BaF2 is an important intermediate phase during heat treatment. In this paper, BaF2 thermodynamics stability was analyzed through calculating the standard Gibbs free energy change (GT) of the reactions related to other intermediate phases within the temperature range of 700-1000 K. Two thermodynamics methods, the Gibbs free energy function method and standard formation molar Gibbs free energy method, were utilized to obtain the GT values. The formation priority of BaF2 relative to other intermediate phases were verified at higher temperatures, while the possibility of BaCO3 formation was found at 700 K.
