AFRL - RZ - WP - TP - 2008 - 2231 FLUX PINNING ENHANCEMENT IN YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 - x FILMS WITH BaSnO 3 NANOPARTICLES ( POSTPRINT )

چکیده
Nanoparticles of BaSnO3 were incorporated into YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) films on LaAlO3 substrates for magnetic flux pinning enhancements. More than an order of magnitude improvement in the high field magnetization Jc at 6 T at 77 K was observed as compared to regular YBCO films. The irreversibility field (Hirr) was increased to 8.5 T at 77 K and to 13.4 T at 65 K. The in-field transport current measurements confirmed an order of magnitude improvement in high fields. The angular dependence of the Jc data at 1 T showed that Jc H ‖ c is 1.3 times higher than Jc H ‖ ab indicating the presence of c-axis correlated defects. Transmission electron microscopy studies revealed the presence of a large density of uniformly distributed ∼10 nm sized BaSnO3 precipitates and strain fields around them. A dual sector pulsed laser deposition target is used to produce the films, thus eliminating reactions between BaSnO3 and YBCO during the target preparation stage, but may allow the BaSnO3 to react locally and create defects that act as pinning centres.

Nd doped YBa2Cu3O7 x targets (NdxY1 xBa2 Cu3O7 x; x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 1) were prepared in-house and were used to deposit films by pulsed laser ablation in 300 mTorr of oxygen to study the Nd substitution effects on the film properties. Film composition was found to match very closely to the composition of the targets as determined from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The critical transition temp...

High pinning performance of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − x films added with Y 2 O 3 nanoparticulate defects
We report the epitaxial growth and superconducting properties of Y2O3-added YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) films grown on SrTiO3-buffered MgO substrates by pulsed-laser deposition using surface-modified YBCO targets. Areas of Y2O3 sectors on the YBCO target were increased to 5.44% and 9.22% of the total YBCO pellet in order to find a correlation between the Y2O3 content, morphology, and the pinning propertie...
