Abstract

We report the effects of barium-based perovskite particle inclusions of BaCeO3 (BCO), BaZrO3 (BZO), and YBa2SnO5.5 (YBSO) on the thickness dependence of critical current density (J-c) in metal organic deposition (MOD) -processed YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films on the SrTiO3 (STO) single-crystal substrate. With increasing film thickness, while BZO-doped YBCO films show a serious degradation in Jc, caused by the interlayer at the boundaries of multicoated layers, BCO- and YBSO- doped films exhibit a significant enhancement of Jc (77 K, self-field) over ∼1 μm thickness even though BCO- or YBSO-doped YBCO films have degraded in-plane textures compared with undoped films, implying that these perovskite dopants affect not only the pinning properties but also the growth of multicoated layers. The highest critical current (Ic) value over 440 A/cm-width, corresponding to Jc value of 1.8 MA/cm2, was obtained from the 2.4- μm-thick YBSO-doped film.
