One of the most intensely researched subjects in the development of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO)-based coated conductors is the methodology for achieving ever-sharper film texture on flexible metal substrates. This is a critical issue due to the intrinsic weak-link behavior that results in depressed critical...
