This article discusses superconducting technologies, focusing on second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G HTS) tapes and their microstructure. 2G HTS tapes, based on the yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconductor, are manufactured using thin-film technology, and their production is continuously being improved. Microstructural studies of 2G HTS tapes were carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).}, abstract={The analysis enabled the assessment of the structure of the superconductor, silver, Hastelloy substrate, and buffer layers. The results indicate that despite the high homogeneity and quality of the layers- which is crucial for the stability of critical parameters and the efficiency of superconducting devices- microdefects are present in the tapes, which may affect the durability of HTS tapes. The obtained data are significant from the perspective of applying HTS tapes in power engineering and the advanced materials industry.}, type={artykuł}, title={Mikrouszkodzenia wysokotemperaturowych taśm nadprzewodnikowych drugiej generacji}, keywords={nadprzewodnictwo, wysokotemperaturowe taśmy nadprzewodnikowe drugiej generacji, badania mikrostrukturalne, superconductivity, second-generation high-temperature superconducting tapes, microstructural analysis}, }
