The thickness dependence was studied for the critical current density (Jc) of YBa2Cu3O7−x(YBCO)+BaSnO3 (BSO) nanocomposite films. These films showed a significantly reduced decline of the Jc with thickness, especially at high magnetic fields. For example, a 2 μm thick YBCO+BSO film had a Jc∼3×105 A/cm2 at 5 T as compared to a typical Jc of 2.4×103 A/cm2 at 5 T for a 300 nm thick YBCO film. The thick YBCO+BSO films maintained high Tc (>88 K) and had a high density (2.5×1011/cm2) of continuous BSO nanocolumns that likely contributed for the observed Jc enhancements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
