Popis: Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of alcohol YBCO suspensions on the Ag wire electrode is studied. Polyethyleneglycol was coordinated to a structure formed by the EPD process with YBCO particles. The d.c electric fields of 200-300 V/cm are applied for 1-10 min. The optimal condition for the EPD allows modifying the properties and microstructure of the deposited films. Superconducting coatings with nanometer-sized pores and a preferred orientation along the caxis were prepared from the result with chemically modified precursor solution. In contrast, YBCO coatings of submicrometer-sized pores and randomly orientated grains were prepared from the solution without PEG.
